Trevor,
Thanks for your write up and pictures - fascinating to read and look at. I haven't finished reading the document yet but will later tonight. I like it how they keep the scope's at night-time temp during the day, I wonder how much my power bill would go up if I tried doing the same with my tin obs during the summer
I have read this thread a few times since you started it but haven't replied yet, trying to work out what to say.... I keep wanting to say how lucky you are to have had the Saturn recognition and then this Keck visit, but I don't believe in luck, it all comes down to choices made throughout life, directions taken and careful (or hap-hazard) planning. Congrats on being so successful! Something for many of us amateurs to aspire to.
I remember seeing your interview/segment on Catalyst and thinking "I bet that guy's on IIS and I just don't know it", and also hoping I'll get that kind of recognition some day as I slowly but surely move more in to the research side of amateur astronomy, trying to contribute what I can.
