APOLLO Run Summary
Below are numbers representing APOLLO's catch for each lunation. The month
of lunation corresponds the the beginning of the lunar month, though much of
the data collection may transpire in the following month. The record starts
in April 2006, when the clock was moved and fiducials were properly
interleaved.
