I worked the second half of Friday night (17/18 December) with the
echelle on the 3.5-meter, and despite not-very-good seeing, it's very
good to have the telescope back.  My heartfelt thanks to everyone
at the site and elsewhere for their work and getting us back into
operations.

We (Russet at the telescope and myself remotely) used the fast tertiary
rotation capacity to get a SPIcam image for identification and
acquisition in a cluster field and then rotating back to the program
instrument, echelle.  It works very well, and it's much faster for
confident identification than paddling around in a cluster with a 
1.2 by 0.8 arcminute field.
