More Data

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

I just can't believe all the data I am getting in December.  I remember 
looking forward a few years back to taking data in December with the long 
nights.  But then I never saw any stars in December - January.  Last night 
with the moon not so bright and the longest (or next to longest) night of 
the year and it was clear all night long.  It is dawn and I am busy writing 
data to CD.  Looks like another 10 CDs of data last night.  This can't 
last, but as long as it does I will take data and hope that I can 
eventually reduce it to good measurements.

It is very valuable to get data at this time of year since otherwise there 
will be a big hole in the sky coverage.  I now have lots of data at +7 
between 23 hours and 10 hours.  Spring data should fill in the rest, for 
complete coverage between +5 and +9 declination.  This should make a nice 
engineering run.
