interesting find, thanks for sharing  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I didn't just think about donating. I went ahead and did so. :) Thanks, Snowy! Great find, and a worthy endeavour!  :sign-great-job: :sign-yes: :woot:

Up to $400k. Looks like they'll make their target.

5 days to go and they're up to $1.18 million. Looks like it'll be a reality.

Yes, but I don't think they're going to be making their "stretch goal" of $2 mil. That would be awesome, though, upgrading the Arkyd to include exoplanet viewing/searching.
