              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Night was clear and calm, good seeing.  We started with an instrument block for the UL quadrant of ARCTIC.  Was slow going, mostly due to user inexperience.  Finished one quad by 23:15.  Started a pointing model at about 00:00.  Pointing was good, implemented the new model.  Performed a throughput test with the two stars not done yesterday.  Was not able to create a directory under the 'keep' subdirectory, so the data is still in Q2APO/UT170614. Finished by 04:30.  Night stayed clear and still through dawn.
