Or maybe it does… If we don’t communicate here, maybe we should jettison it from the website, like two droids escaping a compromised Corvette class starship towards Tatooine, or Spock’s casket shot into deep space.

Found out the site likes JPG better than PNG. I’m going to upload several images. Yosef, feel free to use these, just give me credit along with the RAC. Thanks!

Trying to upload photos. I may have to upload one image at a time. This was from June 8th—A glorious night for astronomy.
