              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Poor seeing and wind at the start of the night.  APOLLO stopped early because of the wind limit but my second half observer had a target pointing away from the wind, so I let that program take the time, although seeing was still horrible.
Humidity shot up around 20:30 and closed us at 20:56.  We re-opened at 00:15.
Left telescope parked at alt 75 deg for APOLLO this morning, tert. pointed at BC1 and eyelid open.
