Notes:

All dates and times are UTC unless otherwise noted.

The FWHM Estimates are generated by Dave Thompson's allseeing.cl script in the LBTtools package:
FWswl is the scaled mean seeing in arcsec converted to equivalent V-band seeing at the Zenith, averaged over the 4 chips.
FWHM is the measured mean seeing in uncorrected pixels.
Ellip gives the mean stellar image ellipticity.
Np is the number of FWHM measurements used.
These numbers are for reference only, your actual measurements will vary (we find they generally overestimate the true seeing on Chip 2).
