Thanks to our good friends at Oceanside Photo and Telescope, our livestreaming telescope is back online. I featured a couple of quick pics I took with the telescope during a test stream on Twitch Sunday night.

\\n\\n

I also answered questions about our trip to the AAS in Hawaii, if it\'s possible to make a more powerful telescope out of smaller telescopes, and why the ISS doesn\'t have an artificial magnetosphere.
