              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Clear night with no problems until after 4 am. CU03 was following a star
at high altitude, and I let it hit the set max of 87. Read the wiki
instructions, found that the axelim.dat file had 87.2 set for the maximum
altitude, and re-initiated tcc. Lost 5 minutes of observing time, with no
problems afterwards.
