              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Error when moving mirror to sky with the echelle.
05:06:05 APO.Jack-Obs1 182 echelle f text="exceptions.RuntimeError: [Calibration Mirror Move Error! :: Mirror not fully out of beam path]"
I tried the command again and it worked.
Pointing was off for the echelle.  Star fell just outside the FOV (left side).  The tertpoint script worked but the slitviewer did not want to recognize the star, it instead recognized some blank part of the field. I had to manually adjust the settings to get the star near the slit (or I could have used Russet's other script for these type of issues).
