              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
PU02 switched from Echelle to TripleSpec at 19:37. I exposed with Tspec
slitviewer, noticed the telescope was way out of focus, and attempted to
adjust the secondary manually. All of my commands were rejected, and after
asking Russet to home the secondary, Bill came in from home to fix the
problem so we could get back on sky. Please see PR 1463 for details.
After we got back on sky with UW03 at 23:16, telescope behaved well and
observations went smoothly, with seeing from 0.78-1.4" for the remained of
the night.
