                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Lots of Moths on the intermediate level tonight.  I filled the bug catcher with water and turned
it on.  Bug zapper was on in lower level with lots of dead moths.
 Zero'ed rotator.  0.304 deg off.
 Mounted DIS to do Ctrl+click tests.  I figured out a little more about the bug (and the latest
beta seems to work around the problem).  I updated the PR.  We tried re-creating the ctrl+click
problem with various revisions of TUI and couldn't get it to center without the control key
actually down.  I didn't see the ctrl+drag notes in Russell's email until after I dis-mounted the
instrument.
Power cycled the top end metrology.
Russet and I checked and adjusted collimation with Shack-Hartmann
Pointing Model completed and implemented.
Blind Tracking tests with SPIcam (72 deg thru 85 deg back to 69 deg).  Horizon rotation.  60s
exposures unguided.  Field: RA 5:20:00 Dec +37:50:10
Data in Q4APO/UT20101019/Tracking/spicam
