              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray, R.McMillan
The night, while stormy in the afternoon, cleared at sunset and we were able to open. We tested the new pointing model that we made last night, checked that pointing with the NA2 guider, DIS, Echelon, AGILE, Shack-Hartman and Apollo. We closed for less than an hour around 00:30 due to high wind. Apollo operated successfully and we collected many photons! Seeing was moderate to poor for most of the night.
