Cuddle Bunny

Tonight is our last night using the telescope, which makes it a sad night. However, the night was very clear and we were able to see all of our objects really good. We also spent a lot of time (Isa, Erin, Adam and I) out on the catwalk looking at the stars. We noticed that every time we sit on the catwalk for a while we get WAFFLE BUTT because of the spacing in the floor up there. When WAFFLE BUTT gets too bad you have to get up and do a few laps. So this time we brought up a sleeping bag to sit on and WAFFLE BUTT stood no change against that :). We have also separated into cuddle buddies while we are looking at the stars Erin and Adam are the more lame of the cuddle buddies and like usual Isa and I are the best, which is why we are called the cuddle bunnies hahaha. Also when we were looking at stars professor Arion walked down below us and when we asked if it was a bear he replied, " RAWR!!!!". That was the closest we got to seeing a bear on the trip. We also made up a game where we could find our own constellations. We found some pretty cool stuff such as Erin's boat called the "S.S. Martin", Isa's "Deer", and the one that I found which was called "ADAM"!!!!!! The night is going by fast so now im going to image my object which is ngc2068 in a third color so i can get a better stacked image of it. It has been a very successful and exciting trip!!!
