              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Reset the NA2, Alt, and Az controllers.  I did not restart Tron or TCC.
Zero'ed NA2 rotator
The 3.5m IR/Vis display computer screens were frozen.  It restarted itself after a few minutes, displaying a BSOD, and attempted an auto fix but hung.  I rebooted the computer and it said Hard drive not found.  PR sent.
I adjusted the ecam focus.  Need to take a new mask now.
We started about an hour late due to clouds and nearby radar returns.  Finally opened at 22:00.
We did the bright star on ARCTIC and APOLLO STV camera and that worked giving us our offsets.  We were able to pick up the Galileos satellites with ARCTIC.  We tried with the STV but believe the narrow band filter in the light path is causing issues.  Satellite was not visible on the STV in 20s exposures.
We did Shack-Hartmann training even with clouds.  We didn't implement anything, just took some iffy data to analyze and go through the process.
After we finished SH training I restarted TCC & Tron and I took data to make new masks for Echelle but had a problem reducing the data per the wiki instructions.  Email sent to Russet & Amanda for advice.
