Pete is right
Nidia is a really great to work with. It certainly makes the long hours well worth it.
An interesting aside here is that a few people have said to me why work with a group and share discoveries etc. Well apart form the obvious of having access to more telescopes for conformations etc. The other side is that it is essential to have support while doing large scale search. Like all the group I have a full time job and I try to fit Astronomy in where I can(well actually I try to fit my job around astronomy according to my wife)I have been doing reasonably large numbers of galaxies and need the back up of others either to kick me in the arse if I get a bit down about not finding a SN or missing a SN to passing on suspect stars and have them looked at by the group. This basically leaves me to keep blinking and I of course will do the same. The good thing is everybody does as much or as little as they want. Also we all get on well which really helps.Not to say we always agree and have some heated emails sometimes but we all bring something different to the table.
Lastly sharing the success with other people that really knows the work that has been done is well really great and as Pete says this SN is one of the sweetest of all!!!!
