Further adjustments were done to the Fabry-Perot. Second-Half Observing Specialist: McMillan The telescope was not opened. The clouds started to clear off around 04:30, but high wind gusts persisted for another half hour, until it was too near twilight for any meaningful science. We did some testing of Remark 2.60, and we may be approving it as the official version in the near future.
