              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Apollo had some problems tonight.  Seeing was bad, so they didn't lose much in choosing to fix it.
Pointing jumped sometime in the last week, and we needed to fix it for Echelle.  After using echtilt unsuccessfully 3 times, Russet adjusted the tertiary by hand.  This time is counted as equipment.
Seeing improved later in the night, and skies were mostly clear.
