We're surprised you were able to do adaptive optics. The western half of the field in particular is just about devoid of usable guide stars. If our observatory gets hit by lightning and we have to start again, we're going to have to investigate AO.

Nah, no shootout.
My suburban skies put a firm limit on what I can do...that said, we are looking at a possible move away from the big smoke...well...maybe.
