I've got about 12h total so far, but a lot of those frames will be unusable. I'm running a proper sort and integration of them now.

1138 frames survived the first sift though. Let's see how many make the final integration.

Yes. She's burning out on all this. Were it not for her goats...

If you are not already following her, I’d recommend you to. As well as the increasing risks from old kit falling back to earth, and the damage it does burning up in the outer limits.

Know what makes this worse? Lots of people already lost their skies to ground-based light pollution so they don't know how cluttered orbital space has become. No political pressure from them. Just another way in which scientific/technical illiteracy will kill us all.

It's the absolute opposite of what I built the rig for - it should be do 8-10 min exposure easily.

The computer is churning away adding it to the rest of the data. I should have 18h total. I was aiming for 20+ but bloody got in too many frames.

This is a rough cut from about half the data. M81
