              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
DIS red Bay 2 was giving me a headache calibrating tonight, initial change of -9 steps then +7, then -9.  ARGHHH  I left them alone after this.
guider image 351 & 35s showed a pair of close satellites moving thru the field.
I left the telescope parked at 130,10 this morning since we had some moth residue on the az drive that I could not clean out. Russet will be able to get to some less often cleaned areas with the telescope at this position.
