I stayed out past midnight so I could use another astro shot for photo-a-day. I brought my star tracker, but I forgot my shutter release so I was limited to 30 second exposures, and had to use higher ISOs.

The Nintendo switch stopped reading game cards. I read that you can just replace the internal game card reader, so I picked up a new card reader board. About 20 minutes into this project I started to think this was a bad idea and I was afraid I was going to break the switch for good, but I got it replaced and works as good as new. This is the old card reader board before I removed it.
