              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
NA2 guide camera not responding, No pings, powercycling fixed it.
Echelle blue filter did not move into place when commanded.  I found the filter wheel mechanism working correctly, just in the wrong filter positions.  I moved the wheel to the correct position.  PR submitted for correct wheel alignment.  About 12 mins loss to fix this problem.
I somehow didn't manage to record focus for either instrument tonight.  Seeing was 0.8 arc sec with tspec and about 1.0 arc sec with the echelle tonight.
NICFPS was still cooling down at the end of the night so no darks were taken.
The mirror cover in the 4-5 o'clock position did not close (fully open) when I closed at the end of the night.  A cycle of the covers closed it the second try.
