              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Last night of engineering post shutdown. Clear skies, mediocre seeing.
All instruments checked out (normal biases, darks, or flats). NICFPS ICS needed to
be started.
Checked pointing in all 4 quadrants with both Agile and echelle.
Pointing model NA2. Agreed with previous model so it was not implemented. Data sent
to engineering group.
DIS slitviewer focus check. Slitviwer focus was eventually adjusted. Full set of
dcam masks updated. Boresight position confirmed.
Echelle standards on sky: BD +28 (900s), HD 165459 (450s), BD +17 (900s). Files in
echelle directory.
Tertiary left pointed at BC1 in the morning.
