              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We had several errors/halts during slew starts, which halted various axis tonight.  It was a quick fix to get the telescope working again (basically just power cycle drives and then an axis init).  Emails sent to the engineering staff with all the gory details and log dumps.
