The fir...The hardest part is the transition period. The first night I was really tired, because I work up at 8:30 in the morning then stayed up all night. The second night I slept till 4 in the afternoon, and was able to stay up all night with almost no effort. The only problem, of course is the fact that I only needed to do it for two nights; it'd be more efficient to be up there for a full six-night run like the telescope operators do, but that's how it worked out.<br /><br />I will say that even knowing it gets better, I don't think I'm cut out to be an observational astronomer. I've never really been a night owl; I prefer working while it's light out. A theoretical astronomer's life for me!Daniel Berkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771693084266810042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149474372777404842.post-67310239106046063222014-05-18T08:34:24.830-10:002014-05-18T08:34:24.830-10:00I could never work those hours!
