              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Varying clouds, but decent seeing.  Since weather was generally safe, I kept the dome open nearly all night, but not all of the time was truly useful.  APOLLO was barely able to do some testing of slew commands with new software, and not able to do any ranging.
