The oven continues to spin happily at 6.8 RPM. The temperature is 1000 °C and climbing at 20.8 degrees per hour. We are still right on
schedule for reaching high temperature in the morning.
The video images look very nice as the glass has all smoothed out into
a meniscus shape. It will be a couple more hours before it starts
running down into the ribs.
Be sure to check out the IR image (non-flashed, 1/60 sec) on the web
that shows the spiral heaters in the lid reflected in the liquid glass
surface.

mirrorlab is only a Sparc 1+ so be patient as it struggles under the load of
all these images. Load on mirrorlab does not affect the oven.
Until morning .......
