              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Zero'ed rotator, off +0.335 deg
Rough focused DIS slit cam (flatscreen)
Checked new Agile focus position.
Checked collimation (with warm telescope) with Agile, looked respectable.
SH software testing & collimation
Agile test for DD06 (will most likely repeat again tomorrow night due to cirrus)
DIS slitviewer adjustment and focus
Pointing model (BigGrid.txt).  Model implemented
New masks for all slits for the DIS slitviewer.  Moved boresight for new slit position.
DIS Througput
G191B2B (first star image is bad)
Feige 34
Feige 66
Feige 67
Checked pointing at NA1 for a couple stars - very good
I noticed that the focus log times are +1hr from when actually taken.  This has probably been going on since we switched back to mountain standard time. PR submitted.
