              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The boresight position was off on the echelle slit (at top of slit), I re-centered it to the center of the slit (in the .dat file).
Dust started to climb at the end of the night but not enough to close
No problems tonight
