              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Motion error too large.  Az started to come out of sync around 06:55:59UT but I don't see any errors in the log window, just TCCPos and AxePos coming out of sync for Az.
Our Internet went down around 01:30 to the outside world.  User lost connection to TUI.  I observed for Leslie while the Internet was down.  Internet was also down in Cloudcroft/Tularosa so this wasn't a local site problem.  The Internet came back online around 03:50.  I finished up the observations for Leslie and handed the telescope back to her at 04:10
09:52UT Rotator stopped (stop button displayed on status window???)  no stop button was pressed.  It did command it from 173.2 to -179.7.  It looks like it was rotating the wrong direction from the AxePos values around that time.
DIS slitviewer images looked washed out at 99.5% scaling (default).  They looked more normal at 99% scaling.  see image 345 as an example.
