                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 NICFPS focus script did not work, I got the following error on TUI
 02:32:14 APO.Jack 102 hub f NoTarget="the target named nfocus is not
 connected"
 I tried a hub startNubs nfocus but that didn't fix the problem so I
 focused NICFPS manually.
 At the end of the night the rotator overcurrented.  It was during the
 last exposure so we didn't fix it while the observer was observing.
 PR was submitted (also ref PR#398 from a couple weeks ago)
