              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
During checkout I got this error from the Echelle
19:33:18 CmdStarted: APO.Jack-Obs1 13 echelle mirror lamps
19:33:18 APO.Jack-Obs1 13 echelle f text="error from motor controller: '\x15[Invalid Command]\r>'"
The mirror seemed to move to lamps and Quartz Lamps were on after the error.
I manually moved things, which worked fine, then restarted the script with no problems.
Radar returns kept us closed all night with rain starting just before 03:00.
We gave up at 04:15
