Day 4: Spending quality time reading a bit about astronomy - another subject of interest to me. Found a nice database combining HIP (1997) data with several other sources, presenting a nice package of near stars. Cut away everything beyond 200 ly and washed it a bit - and imported into an old application for viewing stars in 3D (ChView). Very relaxing
...now I just found out there is a new 2007 revision of the HIP catalog - I so should not have started down this path...those are STARS, they can just move around, change their color or turn out to be multiple stars!!!
Also spending time with family...going on a trip the day after tomorrow
