I have been working late a lot this last week and we got some amazing views driving back from LDB late at night. These where all take between 11:00 and 11:30 when the sun was behind some clouds and giving amazing light.

So I haven’t posted for a couple days because I have been running around doing a bunch of cryostat tests. Well everything checked out and we are getting ready to mount the cryostat on the gondola, so I have a few minutes to post things. […]

(let me know if you can see anything). […]
