During the telescope checkout, the rotator had a persistent vibration twice, and the only way to stop it was with a stop button. Following the first rot vibration and stop button sequence, the whole platform started to vibrate, with what seemed like the same frequency as the rotator. I didn't notice if the az was actually moving, I was more concerned with the violence of the vibration. Not sure what it was, and it didn't repeat the next time. I moved the telescope to check fiducials after this with no other incident in the az. Will keep an eye on it. But it was certainly scary! 02:46Z encl25m : open Clouds and radar are off to the North and West, but we need to test the pointing model on Cart 16 (which is sparse plugged) 01:48Z loadCart: ct=16, pl=4988, 03:13Z sop.gotoField found stars spiral pattern, found stars.
