              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
closed the telescope due to clouds at 20:20, we hadn't seen much for the past hour due to the clouds.
When I closed, due to clouds, I got this error message.
2015-11-15 03:24:16 APO.Jack-Obs1 125 tcc f text="Sub-command(s) failed: MOVE: Cancelled on queue by immediate priority command 'INIT'"
I could not move the telescope in any axis after this failure.  Repeated axis stop/init and stop button did not clear.  TUI reported az/alt as Halted, but rot stuck Halting. Reset the rotator controller fixed the problem.
I also zero'ed the Rotator (since we were closed due to weather) +0.120
lost power at 23:30.  Gave up due to weather at 04:30.  Still on generator power.
