              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden, R.McMillan
Productive night.  Seeing was decent, with occasional light clouds.
Russet and I did a pointing model in the hour between programs.
Nicfps was well behaved, I did not have to issue the init command, and it
seems to only have had one questionable readout for the whole night.
