Notes
  1. 2MASS Ks bands used.
gollark: Sadly squid probably won't let you.
gollark: Or put neural interfaces on the TNT.
gollark: You could always make a TNT cannon.
gollark: You mean your giant containment spheres?
gollark: pjals: `_G.tps` is only in my TPS overlay code so my flight script can compensate for TPS issues without using more server resources by checking TPS itself.
