GONG COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 07 19:36:17 GMT 2022
Gong turret was oscillating in pitch this morning.   It was fixed by going into the gong expert, disabling pitch for about 30 seconds then turning pitch back on.

Smooth motion was verified by both checking the SAOImage QuickReduce and looking at the Pitch position at the bottom of the Gong Expert.   When working correct the images are round and the position changes in one direction instead of bouncing up and down. Today it looks like the pitch move is down in the negative direction.
