              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
ARCTIC failed during checkout with same "set full window failed with retVal=4543058" as Candace saw a few days ago (20220510) after issuing "arctic set amp=LL bin=2,2" command, and I had to do an arctic init command to get it working again. UL and LR quads both dropped, but LR quad came back a few minutes later.
Motion error in alt at 61 slewing downwards in the east, very short slew.
Agile pointing was off by about an arcminute at the start of OU04's observations. Rotation (also checked at checkout) was not the culprit. Then we saw a drift with AGILE at 02:29, Russet logged in and we homed the secondary. (Separate email with more details.)
Very thin clouds at the end of the night, but mostly good weather!
