              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Had to correct pointing on the echelle, and called Russet to talk me through it.  This took about 15 minutes.  Then we discovered the same pointing error on Apollo, and realized that it was because we made a collimation change and didn't implement the new pointing model.  So we did that, and undid the echelle pointing change.  All should be well again.
The night was mostly clear, with a bit of high dust and terrible seeing.  We stayed open the whole night.
No other problems to report.
