Well, the seeing might not have been anything to write home about but we had a clear night! Which means the Colgate class got to test their skill on sky! There was much panicking and screaming in all the multitasking required on a virtual training run.  I was trying very hard not to laugh :)
No problems with Tspec tonight. I tested it multiple times during checkout.
