Description

7 hours of data collected over two nights. Easily the most data I've collected on a single target, but I can now appreciate why people collect even more time, though I don't know if I'll be able to collect any more...we tend to have months of cloudy nights here in the winter. I was lucky (and doggedly determined) in getting two consecutive clear, moonless nights. And even luckier to get my neighbors to turn off the sodium vapor light for both nights.

Also, I have a new logo. Might seem silly to some, but I kinda like it
