              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    G.Saurage
Beginning of night could not get rotator to initialize. Would not move via TUI or
talk to boxes. Tried to reset controller, still no luck. Called Fritz, he rebooted
the rotator controller, and got things moving again. He then rebooted the az & alt
controllers as well.
Zeroed NA2 rotator.
Clouds began increasing around 10 pm and into the second half enough such that at
some point data acquisition was null.
