Goal: obtain slow azimuth scans with inclinometer data to derive a new track map following the azimuth track refurbishment
Note: Data taken from Sep 3, 2007 through noon Sep 20, 2007 have the Antenna manager bug which causes the OBSC_EL column in the Antenna FITS file to be uncorrected for refraction.
Operator: Kevin
Observer: Todd
Weather: clear skies, temperature range from start to end of az scans = 12.7 to 9.4C

Final scan = 1299. Pointing ran all day.
