Can I remember what I have been up to and give a full report? Time to find out. We start with Monday, in which I went back to study for the first time in most of a year. It is a very small class of two students and all I have to do is produce a report on extrasolar planets over the course of this semester. For next Monday all I need to have done is a hundred or so words of an abstract for my project.
The big scope was working for a short time while I was gone but now it is busted for a different reason, so once again I am not going to get to use it. However we did for once get to use a few of the smaller scopes - can you believe, dear reader, that I have almost finished my degree and only just had a lesson on setting up a telescope for observing? At least I got to see some wonders: I saw Jupiter for the first time, with Io, Europa and Ganymede in line (and that order), the Jewel Box ( well named) and Omega Centauri (like a cloud of stars).
On occasion as we were out there a train would pass, looking like a luminescent serpent behind its screen of trees. Also, at night it is cold.
