              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley, R.McMillan
Opening was delayed due to high wind and dust.  We did tests on the ecam slitwheel and dcam command collisions, along with testing out the dcam warming situation.  We exercised the axes with some in-dome pointing models.  When we were able to open, we did a short pointing model while we waited for the telescope to cool, did Shack-Hartmann (SUCCESSFULLY!!) and checked dis spectrograph vs slitviewer focus (made mask files after).  We then did a long pointing model (because some strange things happened in the short one).  Ended the night with some last SH data, and of course the software stopped cooperating.  :/  Took GIFS biases.  Gradient is down to 10 counts top to bottom, but this is probably less by now (they were taken in the first half).
