Arecibo observing day 2

Last night was pretty cool, I got to be in control of Arecibo on my own (quite a scary and proud moment to be honest) and it all went according to plan. I get to start the observations on my own today too, so that's going to be fun (just better make sure it all goes according to plan!). I have to say I'm quite enjoying it out here - there is something about observing that I do really enjoy (and find quite relaxing), maybe I should consider becoming a telescope controller...

Sunrise and a rather demented (and tired!) looking me:
