              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
DIS Bay2 red was a pain to calibrate tonight.  I got it within +/-4 and called it good enough after several attempts bouncing back and forth where it should be at.  This is a known issue for this bay.
No problems tonight.  Elevated dust levels again.  It is probably smoke from the fires in CA.  Counts stayed below 6000 tonight.
