              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Film crew on site doing some additional filming from for comet ISON documentary.
Echelle filter wheel was messed up tonight.  The ND3 filter appeared to be the ND5 filter.  I twiddled moving with the filters (ND5 to ND1) and after a couple iterations got the wheel back into the correct position again.
