                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We fought clouds and humidity for the 3rd program of the night.  Clouds also around Midnight that
looked like they would interfere with APOLLO but they cleared out just around 01:00.
George had issues with his computer running TUI that couldn't be easily resolved over the phone,
so I did the observations for him, what little there were.
I threw in the towel at 05:30 with high humidity conditions on site.
