------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky, J.Huehnerhoff
A photometric night with good seeing.
Azimuth servo/motion error while guiding at UT 01:58:14.  This occurred at
an azimuth of 52.8 and an altitude of 43.5. This also happened 5 minutes
into a science exposure, the image could not be used.
An altitude servo error while guiding at UT 05:24:15 (az=48.9, alt=34.1).
Another altitude servo error on second half while guiding; UT 09:43:28
(az=38.3, alt=147.5).  This occurred in the middle of a 26 minute exposure
with SPICAM; the image could not be used.
Another azimuth servo error while tracking at UT 12:27:32.  It occurred at
an azimuth of -3.6 and altitude of 48.9.
