              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
ThAr lamp looked normal tonight for the checkout image and IOL image.
Motion error @07:06, this was after I just initialized the drives after changing insturments to KOSMOS.  56.5 deg alt.  Axis init fixed.
Echelle ThAr looked fine at the end of the night.
They were doing morning cals with KOSMOS so I left it mounted.
