              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Windaq needed a restart from the backend during checkout. Evening started humid but that blew out shortly after sunset. Winds were high, though.
Arctic dropped a quad after an init. It was warmed up to bring the quad back, then set back to normal settings. NA2 was zeroed. Alt,az,rot1 and rot2 axis controllers were reset. DIS focus was left alone. Echelle focus was adjusted. Echelle shitmasks done. DIS slitmasks done. Humidity and winds died down enough we tried an opening around 23:00. Did an instrument block for dcam. Ran a pointing model, did not implement.
