              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky, A. Shelden
Training continued for our new Obs spec Alaina Shelden, she did evening checkout and then took the
rest of the evening off.
UC03 gave time to UW11 for a SN observation with the Echelle.
UC05 (Gyuk) had some connection problems early on but they seemed to clear themselves on their
own.  Other UC observers didn't report any problems with their connection.
Space Command denied the APOLLO observations for tonight, the time was given to UC05 program.
No telescope problems tonight.
