              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We had one instance where the Agile rotator stopped rotating.  I believe around 130 degrees.  I had to kill the drives and re-init them, then test rotation to a smaller angle (100 deg) then it slewed properly to the commanded 138 deg.  I recommended the observer rotate 180 deg (for other reasons than just it might halt again, they were going to track to a wrap limit in a short while).
No other problems.
