              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
DIS spectrographs focused tonight.  Red camera wants the focus slightly higher than slitviewer and Blue camera slightly lower.
Russet used Agile for test measurements for the upcoming DD06 program in December.
0.55 arc sec focus with SPIcam in MSSSO R!
Instrument block with SPIcam. (actually took 2 since I thought I had messed the first one up, but it was actually fine.)
