              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
A lovely clear night with good seeing.  We had two guider hangups which cost a few photons but didn't lose significant time.  With luck the information obtained will be useful.
Telescope parked at high altitude for APOLLO testing.
