              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I could not access any APO related web pages tonight from on site.  I could from off-site (ie. my home computer).  That meant the weather log page would not open, I am going to do it from my home PC, Weather displays (although it seemed to be working fine from our weather monitor computer).
04:12UT motion error.  This was during a normal slew from my obserrver.  They were on their field for an hour.  An axis int cleared it.
No problems tonight with the telescope.
