              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
A liovely clear night with good seeing.
APOLLO started out with more lunar tracking problems, but Russell was able to troubleshoot in real time and eventually we had a successful run.  Echelle and DIS worked very peacefully with no problems.
