              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Wind and dust kept us closed through most of the first half of the night.
We finally opened, and seeing was so terrible, CU07 handed over controls
20 minutes early. APOLLO ran until 01:32, and with bad seeing, we deicided
to use the remaining time to do a collimation check with Agile. After
reviewing a few images with Russet, we determined that we would need
better seeing to conclude this, but nothing appeared to be amiss.
After 02:00, the seeing got much better, and the night was productive.
