The research that the segment focused seemed very iffy I thought in terms of chances of success and hence worthwhileness. I image the researcher is probably piggybacking on other research being done, using images acquired from other observations to analyze the spectra for what he is looking for? Surely he wouldn't manage to secure funding for many dedicated observations of his own for that type of project?

I really enjoyed the segment as a whole, was great to see the telescopes operate and hear about some research being done (however likely to succeed). Very inspiring to get back out to the telescope and capture some scientific data.
