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 observatory… 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. 🔧🪰☀️
