New Astro skill to learn.

Thanks to Mel for sharing this with me.
Definitely a skill that will be useful for every Astronomer. It doesn't look too hard to learn either. I'll let you know how I go, and if successful I'm willing to hire myself out to all the star parties.

There's no known force, natural or otherwise, that can shift them Steve. I'm afraid you're inflicted for life and maybe even the next
