Yes, another fact. Oh, it's so hot here right now though. It's so hot that after I finished my net, I went outside and brought in my mouth. I did not keep it out in nice weather when I'm imaging. And just cover it with a tarp and, you know, raise a lot of stuff and just bring it in. Anyway, when it gets to be 100 degrees, I think we need to bring it in too. You know, it does have electronics and so forth. So anyway, it's all packed up and inside. I'm begging whether to take it out again tonight. I'm not sure how long it's going to be clear tonight. And I tell you, I've been having quite a time this week. I thought my software problems were kind of all solved, but now I know I have any problems with PhD2. And so anyway, it all has to do with the driver, the guide camera, keeps disconnecting and so forth. And then sometimes it works just fine. Wednesday night, everything worked beautifully Wednesday night. I got a whole bunch of data on the object I've been working on this month, NGC 6823. It's an open cluster with nebula and just gas clouds all around and stuff like that. It's kind of cool. And I was going to do a mosaic of the Andromeda Galaxy, but that's when the scene started acting up again. So anyway, it's been a week. It's had the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
