Description

I seem to have this tendency to set goals for myself that are a bit extreme and this is yet another one of those extremes.

This marks my first of 49 panels that will realistically take me approximately 1-2 years to complete due to the incessant bipolar tendency of our weather system.

I am currently taking three hours per panel for greater SNR, but I do realize that if I were decrease that figure to 30 minutes - 1 hour, I could finish it significantly faster. I do prefer quality over speed of acquisition.

All thoughts are welcome and thank you for looking.
