 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
More Agile stray light tests during afternoon checkout and during the evening while we were closed
due to weather.
Never opened due to clouds and rain.
We did have a bit of excitement tonight when we discovered a bat on the ceiling in the lounge
area.  We captured it and released it back into the wild.
