              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Dembicky
Had some issues with the echelle focus script/echelle slitviewer at start of the night so I
manually focused the Echelle.  The focus script worked fine later when I focused on the std. star.
No problems otherwise tonight
