No Water. No Shade. Just Me, an Observatory, and Fly Hell.

I flew into the actual furnace of Australia to do some routine maintenance on an observatoryโ€ฆ but nothing about this trip was routine.

The observatory needed repairs. The flies needed blood. The sun wanted me dead.
It was hot, it was remote, and I was aggressively outnumbered by insects with no respect for personal space.

This is what happens when you mix astronomy, the Outback, and a complete disregard for self-preservation. ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿชฐโ˜€๏ธ
