              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Candace and Russet used the first part of the night for some characterizations with NICFPS and using a grism/slit.
Russet then checked telescope collimation again tonight and also worked on the secondary mirror controllers.
After the mirror adjustments we did another 100 point pointing model.
Russet worked on some ARCTIC shutter tests/parameters.
Implemented the pointing model
Russet said pointing on NA2 looked good.
Checked pointing on NA1, looked good.
Fixed boresight for the Echelle (it was a little low on the slit).
