                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I inadvertantly hit the wrong button on the keyboard/Opera and managed to delete the night log I
was working on.  I adjusted both the Alt and Az Velocity scales but don't recall the measured
values.  I recreated the log to the best of my memory at 5AM.
We were open for a short period at the start of the night for APOLLO and they were able to get a
few returns before we had to close due to humidity.  Humidity kept us closed for most of the night
until the very end when we were able to open the very last part of the night.
