A small astronomy-learning win in Dublin

A few things helped me keep going: make the first step obvious, remove one annoying decision, and give myself credit for repeating it. “Tiny progress is still progress” is cheesy, but it got me through the point where astronomy stopped feeling new. Changing the setting to the train station surprised me too: same plan, different energy.
