Tuesday afternoon, September 25,
Starting up with half-power tracks on 2038+5119 (2.2 Jy source)

Ignore scan number 1
Starting peak/focus with scan number 2

Using model 5b, dyn corrections on, FEM and Zer surface corrections on.

Scans 7-11 : calibration at 0, .4,.5,.6,10 offsets
Scan 12 : first 30 minute half-power track
Tsys about 38-40K, winds about 3-5 m/s

The weather is cloudy.  Tsys variations are large. I doubt if we are going to 
get anything useful out of half-power tracks.
After scan 12, abort scan 13
Switch to all-skypointing.

At 23:00 UT, we inadvertently ran PointingRunV3a instead of V3.  Killed it at 23:48 and
started PointingRunV3.  First new scan = 117.

02:46 UT  Abort on scan 268 (last good focus scan was 266)
02:47     Loaded new model 5c.  Change session ID.
