Unlike previous adventures on Hawai’i (which had mixed results), this is my first run on an optical telescope. One with a mirror. That takes pictures. I’ll be blogging the experience here and on the Galaxy Zoo blog, but to get some of the background head over there to read Bill Keel’s guide to what we’re doing.

Last time I was in Hilo (a month or so back, working at Gemini), the crappy weather was in Kona and the great weather was in Hilo! Hope you got some time on the mountain!

Is the observatory (I assume that's where you're headed) above the cloud line, can you do much in those conditions? Good Luck anyhow. P.S. Love that opening line : "I should be halfway up a mountain by now" Scary said in response to your last post that you are at heart a poet, but that's a novelist's opening if ever I saw one!
