              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had high cirrus all night ranging from thin to thick.  Seeing was
generally good.  There were also some periods of high humidity when I
thought it was necessary to close the dome.  Fortunately, targets for
tonight included Venus and Jupiter - if APOLLO had been observing it would
have been a trifecta of bright targets!  The observers were able to get
through the clouds to a lesser or greater extent; I only counted a little
time lost out of second half since they got a small amount of science but
did make a lot of progress in refining their complicated setup.
