interesting find, thanks for sharing 

I didn't just think about donating. I went ahead and did so. Thanks, Snowy! Great find, and a worthy endeavour! 

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.
