Anytime you guys and gals want to visit, I'm game for that.
Okay, now don't call me a sadistic bastard, but here is another image I took Friday night, this one of the region surrounding NGC 7331, which is a large galaxy in the Constellation Virgo. In fact, this region is loaded with galaxies. Here's the puzzle: Download this image (it is free of viruses), and zoom in with whatever graphics program you have handy and let's see who can spot all the galaxies in the image. Now, I've gone over this one carefully and so am pretty confident in my number (though it is possible that I missed one or two). But let's see how well you guys and gals can do. I'll leave this up for 24 hours, then post the number I got.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
