              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night was mostly uneventful and productive.  Seeing was decent for the most part, but occasionally variable up to 3".
Had to fix pointing for echelle at the beginning of second half (thanks, Russet).  It took an additional 10 minutes, but since we budgeted time wisely we only lost about 4 minutes of UV02 time.
At the end of the night I did an inst change for NA1 back to NA2 (spicam).  The mirror status *says* it's in roughly the right place, but, as I'm learning, that doesn't mean it's really there.  There were no collimation errors.  I gave it a few minutes to settle, then hit the stop buttons and closed up.
