              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: D.DeColibus
TSpec was giving all zeros on the checkout dark images. Following the instructions in the 3.5m wiki (power cycle, init) fixed it.
Additionally, at sunset, I noticed the computer with the strip charts above obs1 was frozen. I followed wiki instructions to reboot and get it back up and running. The PMSS stripchart froze recording around 20:00, but a restart of Dataq fixed it.
Aside from one brief interruption with clouds around 19:30, the sky was clear all night.
B half engineering tasks:
-Adjusted grating zerostep for DIS highres. Lowres did not need adjustments.
-Collimation check
-Updated pointing for multiple instrument ports (NA2, Echelle, Agile)
