              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Az axis did not initialize for the initial axis init.  I tried a couple attempts at stop button/axis init but nothing worked.  I then logged in to talk2boxes and tried moving it from there.  Still didn't move.  I then reset the az controller.  I needed to set the position after the reset (it changed it to 0).  I logged out and tried small slews from TUI, which now worked.
The seeing went south on us around 22:00, due to two fronts colliding overhead.
No problems with the DIS slit masks changing tonight.
