Yeah, Jason.  And let me say that your hockey game is pretty poor as
well.  It show a serious lack of stickhandling skills.  How come that
your 80 second shifts are now 1.5 minutes (90 sec)?  Your passes are
missing the tape every time.  Work on your forechecking, and then come
back and tell us about your hockey game.

Thanks for your "constructive" critisism. You are correct about the stars, I
am going
to work on those but there is only so much I can do. Note the location! You
can't see any trace of the milky way from my location and the Pleiades are
barely visible. In order to over come this you have to stretch very hard
which
makes it tough to avoid clipping the stars. As for the color, it may indeed
be
a bit pink, however, do a google image search on this object and tell me
which one is correct!!!! The green light pollution tends to shift everything
magenta when you correct for it. As for the time, I misspoke slightly, the
total time was around 3.5 hours which included download time, guider
settling, filter wheel, etc.

Very much so. The Stars organization alone has 13 sheets of ice with
around 5000 kids. There are about a dozen sheets of ice within 20 minutes
of my house and over 400 men's league teams in Dallas.

But its expensive. Keeping a huge building at 50 degrees when its 104
outside
probably burns a tanker or two a day.
