Oh, and I have to tell you all about the guy at MOSI. He called back today to get the coordinates for Mom's star. I am so excited.
I'm hoping that I can arrange to go and see it this weekend or if not then sometime really, really soon. He did say that I will have a live photo of the star and he will tell me all about it (how far away it is, how hot, what type of star, etc) once he get's a look at it for himself.
