                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialists: G.Saurage
During afternoon checkout tertiary clamps failed to close on a move, and
the first attempt to home tert also failed. Relevant output info sent to
Nick. Second home and subsequent move succeeded. Also, the rotator had to
be zeroed since the controller was rebooted during the day after the
controller error last night.
Clear skies, low dust. Good seeing. Productive.
