              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
For most of the night, we had photometric skies and good to excellent seeing.  Late in the second half, some thin clouds moved in, but didn't really prevent observations.  Everything worked well, and APOLLO got the strongest returns in several years.
