                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialists: G.Saurage
AzVeloScale: 589.6, 594.6, avg. 592.1 (no change)
Clouds were significant enough at sunset not to open and throughout the
evening they just got worse.
Checked rotator zero again. Rebooted weather mini mac.
Did a 'fake' pointing model second half to test the new rotator
controller. The first attempt, I had the rotator at zero mount. Second
attempt, first slew said rotator could not compute, but after that all
slews normal(?)
Heavy radar activity in the basin after 4am.
