Hi, Marc,

Thanks! The seeing was pretty good, but last couple nights we've had a go at a close pair in Indus, where the seeing was the best we've ever had - just over 1.5 sec arc. Starting to realize that beyond a certain point, good seeing is more important than mega-data when it comes to finding tiny background galaxies. With long exposure and bad seeing, they look like stars. With adequate exposure and good seeing, they look like galaxies!
