08:40 UT  Start pointing scan on 1256-0547, Elev=45 deg, 54 disabled actuators
       Peak

Observe 1642+3948 since the sky looks better in the northeast
Turret is not locking on Ka-band.  Finally did.  Slewing at 09:21 UT
    23-26  bad.  Probably the wrong setup.  Copy from Frank's pointing script in TPTCSPNT
