Back in the Seventies, when I worked at the ENS RJE I served the academic community. Many times I would see professors come in and take printouts from my workstation. They were most impressive and yet somewhat quiet and reclusive as they went about preparing for the night sky.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

I bought ten acres near Terlingua and one of the things I want to do first is visit here.
