              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
TSPEC tracking problems as we transited, this is expected and we have seen this before.  Guider exp 10s could not keep up with the changes.  Drift was almost completely in Alt @ (180,81).
Good night with lots of photons captured.
