                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st & 2nd shift: Noel Camron Hastings
   I started the night by recalibrating the gratings and found trouble
with the blue gratings. This took an extended time to fix, so we opened
late at 18:50 MDT. When calibrating the gratings I found that the red
high res grating had much more repeatable movement today, so the work
done must have had some positive effect.
