                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
AZ velocity scale measured 578.5 was 577.0 changed n/c
Alt velocity scale measured -635.9 was -637.0 changed n/c
During the 2nd half, my observer briefly lost their internet connection while running a nod
script.  This stopped the script but the observer was not able to start it back up.  We reloaded
the script and that fixed the problem.
