              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Nicfps was reading all 0s at checkout but an init solved the problem.
The Apollo laser wasn't operational and AP01 donated 30 min of their time to WY04.
Things were pretty humid most of the night! We were skating borderline closure conditions for nearly the whole night before things started drying up around 5am. Given that, the seeing was surprising good! Reaching down to 1" at one point.
