Last night at the telescope

Tonight is our last night at the telescope. Last night we were able to select objects that we wanted to and take 5 min exposures of them. Dave's and mine turned out pretty good and we were very happy with our images even thougth Erin tried to wreck mine by making the computer hate me. The night was very cloudy last night so we weren't able to get that good of images of any other objects. Even though it was cloudy Isa, Erin, Adam, and I still went out on the catwalk in hopes of viewing some shooting stars. When we got out there Adam told us we were stup[id and we wouldnt be able to see any shooting stars. So as he gazed down in disappoinmet Isa, Erin, and I kept our eyes on the prize. Sure enough us three saw a beautiful shooting star and Adam had to eat his words. It then got too cloudy to take images so we shut everything down around 1:30am and had a movie night.
