              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Mostly clear, good seeing all night.
DIS tilts were far off during checkout, I homed the turret but still needed to
change both blue and red by ~ 30 steps each. Suspicious because in opposite
directions but not quite the same amount. Detent at 1476 steps.
UT 06:14 Agile rotator spontaneously stopped while tracking with a "Motor Disabled"
in the status gui but no error in the log scroll.
UC01 taking morning cals with DIS.
