              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I zero'ed rotator before mounting DSSI, +0.030
I took echelle IOL at the start, mid, and end of the night.  I did a fill time dump during each as well.
We had random thin passing clouds for most of the night.
No telescope issues tonight.
