Thanks for the award, I appreciate it, although I don’t see why I got it, in all honesty. I DID get an awesome photo, but I didn’t confirm it was Pluto. I need a second night to confirm it.
Maybe for both good idea and good start in executing it? Not to mention the good pic.
At least I'm quite excited to hear how that works out.

I don't suffer from insanity. I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Part came in the mail. Unfortunately, there was a thunderstorm today, so I couldn’t go out.
I’ll let you all know on a different post when I start the attempt to track Pluto again.
