              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We managed to finally open around 23:10, clouds shut us back down an hour later.
J.Wisnewski noted that the Echelle Blue flats were back to 25K in 200s when he took his flats tonight.
Clouds cleared around 01:00 and we re-opened.  A very productive 2nd half tonight.
APOLLO ceeded their time to UW06 this morning.
