A good start to a long evening

Since the shutter was broken on one camera, I'm using the IR spectrograph tonight. It was a total panic getting it running. There was a broken PCI card that took an hour to find and swap out.... Looks like I'll be up till dawn calibrating because of it! But, it was good to get the system up and running. This is part of my thesis, supposedly. I think that I can now officially say that I want no part in this part of the spectrograph. At least the sunset was awesome, again. I've never seen it this clear and dry during winter for this long. Liz's weather-curse is gone. For this trip anyways.
