              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
I was able to open at sunset and was actually open for most of the night.
But the period when I had to close due to threatened rain in the middle of
the night did interrupt a long pointing model so it effectively cost a lot
of time.  I did get the pointing model finished and it looked pretty good.
 Then I adjusted pointing on the echelle and checked and adjusted
collimation (a moderate change, still pretty small considering the
secondary was removed and put back).  So it was a very productive night.
Tomorrow's top priority will be DIS.
