              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night was clear with variable seeing and occasionally high winds.  We got away with pointing away from the wind, and were able to stay open through the worst parts.
Zeroed the NA2 rotator
Reset all 4 axes.
Ran guider tests with Russet and Fritz on an echelle field of Kaike's choosing. Also ran some tests on tcam.
Checked collimation on Shack-Hartmann.  Requested change was pretty small, and the seeing wasn't great.  So we left it as is.
Checked Dis slitviewer vs spectrograph focus.
Did a biggrid.dat pointing model on NA2 and implemented it.
Dis Throughput--Feige 67, G191B2B, Feige 34, Feige 66, PG1708+602  including cals (taken after closing)
Fills at 05:10.  GIFS mounted for daytime testing.
