              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Humidity and clouds kept up closed for nearly the entire first half of the
night. When faced with high humidity and clouds, Russet called off APOLLO,
and I allowed UV03 to remain on and use the time if things got better.
Incidentally, the weather did improve, and UV03 used APOLLO time. I listed
this extra hour under "obs" time, but did not change the scheduled start
and finish times. I put APOLLO's time under weather.
