              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We started about 30 mins late due to clouds to our west.
Clouds hampered observations unobservable around 23:10 so Bryan used the next 30 mins for cals then gave the remainder of the time to us for engineering, since it was still too cloudy to observe for him.  We switched to APOLLO to use its camera for real time imaging of stars.
Zero'ed rotator
100 point pointing model
Shack-Hartmann collimation check
Implemented pointing model and did spot checks at NA2 & NA1 (corrected pointing).  Also tested guiding with Echelle.
