              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Dembicky
Clouds and then borderline humidity kept us closed until 22:30 but there wasn't enough time to do
anything useful with the 1st program so he ceded it to the next program.
The boresight was off (on the left edge of slit instead of the center) from the echelle slit
tonight.  I temporarily fixed it for tonights observations.
Humidity was high most of the night but we observed thru it since there wasn't any signs of precip
(snow) around.
Jeff didn't need SPIcam out of focus for his program so I didn't focus it for him.
