By eye things looked pretty good near the center of the array, but there was artifacts seen near the outer edge of the lens related to a incomplete peel of the product off the lens. In this test we are just hoping to see a reduction/ellimination of the big bullet holes in near the occulter. ___end___ Sat Jul 13 00:09:41 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Jul 13 00:10:15 GMT 2019 Saw a very minor inprovemnet over the first contact lens condition on Wednesday morning.
