              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Pointing was off a bit on the Echelle during the 2nd program.  I did not correct it as we only had about an hour with the instrument.  Did not notice this earlier in the evening when the echelle was on.  This was using their stars, but the pointing was consistent in where the star landed on the slit.
