              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Hunted a couple stray light issues with the echelle (ecam actualy) I discovered this afternoon.  It would not have affected Echelle cals, just noticable in the ecam.  I sent Bill an email with my findings.
I had problems focusing the Echelle slit viewer tonight.  Strange glints/reflections in the image and everything was streaking so bad I couldn't determine the star that I was to focus on. I switched to DIS and the star looked fine. PR submitted
DIS focus was around 60 tonight instead of the normal 400.  The telescope temperatures were fairly well stabablized.
