Description

it seems like the log is going to both to standard output and the log. I think we really want it only going to the log only.

Research direction

Start by running the layup orbitfit command and tracing its logging setup, using the sample INFO messages as the observable behavior. Done means orbitfit writes these messages to the log file without also printing them to standard output.
