                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 A clear night with moderate to bad seeing.  APOLLO had good success
 in two runs.
 Everything mostly worked fine, except for a hiccup with NIC-FPS.
 The instrument started returning images that were all zeroes, and it
 took a few minutes to catch up to the problem since the observer and
 I were only spot-checking images.  "nicfps expose init" was not
 sufficient, but restarting the ICS cleared up the problem.
