Thanks Joe, posted about it on my blog and made two recommendations on two articles. I love the one by Ian where he goes to Chile for 2 days of observing with an post doctorate at Harvard and how their observations went. If you like reading about others observing sessions, it was nice to read how the pros do it (and the fact they use a mini-mac as a controller for the LDSS-35 scope there).

"For most people, it takes years for scientific papers to become meaningful. Our goal is to solve this problem, one paper at a time. In 5 minutes a day reading astrobites, you should not only learn about one interesting piece of current work, but also get a peek at the broader picture of research in new area of astronomy."
I thought some here might find it an interesting way to keep up on current research. Enjoy. -- Jay Eads _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
