                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 22:11 rotator overcurrent.  The audio alarm helped a lot to alert me
 when it happened.  Is this new in TUI 1.2b3?  I know I mentioned to
 Russet a week or so ago as an aid.
 23:37 rotator overcurrent again.  This time we only lost about 2 mins
 00:29 disslit quit responding to commands.  A 'hub startNubs dcam' and
 'hub startNubs dcamera' seemed to fix the problem.
 No problems 2nd half with the rotator or the slitviewer.
