This observing trip, to Mauna Kea, has been looking doomed from the start. I had to reschedule flights, there was apocalyptically bad weather before I arrived (snow and winds >100kmh), equipment issues and my nice new powerbook died on the plane on the way here (it seems to have a problem with its memory). Last night was a total washout, and weather and equipemt issues are liekly to kill tomorrow night.

But I am now on the sky, taking data and detecting things! This is good news!

And for those of you interested, you might be able to see me on the webcam...
