              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Stop button displayed on TUI after axis init and slew (we had hit the alt limit).  Telescope shows tracking and looks like axis moved but stop button displayed for all axis and the rotator.  Problem was a dome/building collision occured and engaged a stop button on the intermediate level.  This was just confusing because TUI reported tracking and also stop buttons simultaneously.
