they're huge!!!
I went out to Williams Field today to work on the allsky camera because I had nothing better to do. Had to install some software on my computer, cover up the dome so that the "sun up" indicator turned off (there is an intensifier before the CCD camera that is very sensitive to light), and take a bunch of test pictures of the inside of the several layers of jackets and fleeces.

The pictures indicated something was wrong, so I went through some troubleshooting steps, but didn't get anywhere.

In the meantime, I went to cargo to see if they could move the old box back to McMurdo. It will potentially be used to insulate the neutron monitor, which is in a heated building now, but they want to heat just the detector and not the whole building.

Can't say I did much other than that...
