              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
The night was clear, with great seeing.
Zeroed the rotator, even though I eneded up not doing a pointing model.  We spent all of our engineering time on ARCTIC.  Joe spent some time fighting with the filter wheel code, and then we settled for some throughput stars in 657/3.  Observed BD28, PG2213, PG2331, PG2336, and PG0231. Note--the abort button is still a bad idea.  Also, we believe that the focus direction is the same as tspec, or possibly follows the alt/az directions on the focal plane.
Followed this up with a short pointing model, results emailed out.  Not implemented.
Triplespec started out corrupt, but fixed itself during the night.
