Our friends Jackie Faherty and Johanna Teske are observing on Clay tonight. We got to give them some various tours and they documented it on Twitter — follow the links of their names for their MagAO Tweets!
Jared showed us the secondary used with The adaptive optics imager MagAO. It gets installed when we leave. #astronomy pic.twitter.com/jKMftqgQCE

Long successful day. We finished all the Clio things. Thanks to all our support on email and Skype! Tomorrow we button Clio up and pump it down.

Here we go!
