              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The big Az drive controller box on the intermediate level had some red LEDs lit (and only 3 of the 4 greeen LEDs lit).  I reset the big switch and this fixed the problem (the collision crash button was also lit, I reset that as well).  We had a power glitch this afternoon that may have caused the fault.  The mirror covers also needed to be reset.
Test slews seemed to work fine.
The dataq was not recording (PMSS offline).  I restarted this.
No other telescope problems tonight.
