              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I focused KOSMOS with the CCD then took a spectra, spectra looked nice and sharp.
APOLLO training for me with Russet tonight.  We ended a few minutes early due to UTAH being a little warm tonight.
We noticed pointing was a little off with APOLLO, Russet fixed it then we checked Echelle pointing.  Pointing on the Echelle looked good.
No problems tonight.  Observers are taking cals with the echelle at the end of the night.
