A false start…
We’re off. Our first candidate galaxy is this rather nice system 
Before we can get to that though, we have to point the telescope at a well-known, bright source – usually an otherwise innocent and boring radio galaxy – to calibrate the system and to focus. Which is where our problems have started; the weather isn’t great (or is at least changeable) and we had trouble getting a decent focus. We ended up rotating the telescope by about 100 degrees to find a brighter standard source, and managed to focus. By the time we moved back to our galaxy, though, the wind had picked up and the telescope operator – whose concern is for the safety of the dish rather than for our observations – decided we had to stop.So we’re 90 minutes or so in, and have six minutes of useful data. It feels like it’s going to be one of those nights…

Don’t cheer yourself up with churros unless you have fifty tons of water to go with it! Apart from that, it’s a delicious breakfast!
Good luck – nights in Granada are usually pretty clear, and a cold breeze tends to come down off the mountains most years, but not always. At least you probably won’t get much rain.
Have patience and I am very sure you will get your reward. Happy New Year to all of you.
They look like a pair of headlights in the fog. Very, er, atmospheric.
Life’s like that, isn’t it.
Incidentally, you’ve also had a word processing glitch. The ‘before’ at the start of the paragraph is way out beyond the right-hand margin.
