My giant telescope program actually should have been done already, but the telescope broke for a few months last year.

My giant telescope program actually should have been done already, but the telescope broke for a few months last year. So, the next 4 months will be our last shot at trying to save a couple of our fields (which could be important for testing Planet 9-like theories... or not, depending on what we find)
The dark run is only a week, but it involves a lot of communication with my co-PI, making fast decisions on data from the previous night, and programming the telescope every day.

In addition to making a final decision and locking in those telescope pointings for this block, I also said I'd give a Zoom talk for the Yukon amateur astronomy club tonight (which I haven't put together yet), one of my classes has a test today, and it's supposed to be -12C on Tues night, so the last of the potatoes need to get harvested and a few more water lines need to get shut off tonight. This is... a lot in one day. Wish me luck!
