Notes:

Oddly shaped images that we were seeing on 20131020 may be
due to mirror problem.  T&E work this week on tertiary - fixing
vacuum pump.  Tertiary is "Off" for tonight.

Image distortion does not seem to be as noticeable when we are very in focus. 
When we get just a hair out of focus it become very apparent. 
Images are elongated left to right and curved with no clear way of determining 
which way to go in focus.  They look kind of like a frowning face.

Forgot to change exp. type to acquire for images 206-208.  They are 
not in focus and need to be changed in the pipeline.

Did calibrations in AM.

Took 344 images.
