              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    R.McMillan
Clear all night, with moderate winds and sometimes poor seeing.  Much
of the time we were working out of focus or just visually guessing at
seeing, so it isn't recorded here; my guesses were mostly 1.5-2
arcseconds, but there were some in-focus images of better quality
during second half.
Work done tonight:
- APOLLO APD lenslet optimization -- not complete.  Possibility of
  further work tomorrow.
- APOLLO IR camera alignment -- complete
- Initial collimation check with Shack-Hartmann
- Secondary and tertiary set according to autocollitor, then primary
- adjusted to correct collimation, then fine collimation adjustment
- using Shack-Hartmann
- Large pointing model (no anomalies, small changes)
- Az drive disk adjustment was not done becase AN/AW were already
- small in the pointing model.
- Test of effects of tertiary tilts on pointing models.
- Test of directions of tertiary tilts on Agile
- Test of spicam shutter behavior on and off sky, plus bonus
  investigation of spicam focus script bug.
