Comments: 

First part of night spent tuning up the damper motor.  There is still work to be done.  There was some improvement over last night in some parts of the sky, but other parts where the old damper worked better.  Michael is not without plans.

Second part of night spent collecting data for a pointing map and a hexapod lookup table.  Note: this takes less than 3 hours if you don't call the offsets over to the operator as you are going.
