              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Space command pre-empted the DD01 program from using the laser tonight for ranging operations. Some in-dome tests were done and then the remainder of the time ceeded to the UC01 program.
A nice photometric night with no problems.
