              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
During test slews, got a "motion error too large" message in altitude. The
telescope did not slew in altitude, but in azimuth. After making sure
there were no physical obstructions, I reinitialized the axis motors and
attempted the slew again. There was no problems, and I did not see the
GOPOS error Jack mentioned in his emails.
Neither GIFS nor Echelle gave us trouble tonight. Smooth sailing.
