Inspected the O1 to try to understand the wired patterns we are seeing in the data.  I found what looked like an eye lash in the middle of the lens.  I was able to blow it off and it seemed to travel to the SE side of the lens an got lost.  I tried blowing out the sides of the O1 it out in both the morning and afternoon spar positions hope to free the hair to remove it.  However I was unable to see the hair again. 

I think this same hair could have been the source of the weird pattern we saw on Friday as well.   If that is the case hopefully the hair is now good and stuck in what ever crevasse it found itself until the next lens cleaning.

Ok morning, but the afternoon was pretty poor due to aerosols.
