              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We managed to open for just a few minutes at the start of the night to test Agile boresight offsets.  We noticed they were perpendicular to what was expecte.  I found the rotator almost 90 deg off. I quickly re-zero'ed it.  Russet got some quick offsets to check boresight offsets, which we think looked correct, and then we needed to close due to lightning and possible precip moving in.  I stayed in the dome to quickly close after Russet had finished.
Weathered out again otherwise.
