              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
UT08:35 Az -2.5 Alt 74.5, telescope started having difficulties tracking/guiding with the DIS slitviewer, in altitude.  Dataq error looked fine at -1.8.  I recentered the object and restarted guiding. It was well behaved afterwards.  Perhaps the transit was the problem?
No other problems.
