              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Zero'ed rotator -0.073 deg off.
ARCTIC UL quad is working again!!!
Russet came in and worked on some of the ARCTIC engineering tasks as well as checking collimation using the Shack-Hartmann.  I worked on some ARCSAT engineering while Russet took care of the 3.5m.
After Russet finished with her tasks I took over the 3.5m engineering and did a large pointing model.  I let Ted loose on ARCSAT to better learn the system and test the new software and guiding.
I checked pointing on NA2 after implementing pointing model.  3 stars in 3 different locations across the sky, all dead center on NA2 guider.
I checked pointing at NA1 port and adjusted the tilt coef appropriately.
I was going to take Joes Abell 78 but it hits an altitude limit at just past 04:10
I took dome flats in sdss r & g as well as sky flats in both filters for Joe (we missed these earlier).
TSPEC Aux tank was running just a little above the max (81.8, 80.0 max).  I filled it Monday but maybe didn't do a good fill.  I re-filled it again this morning.
