As it turns out, the event ended up seeing images spread out 3-4 mins apart. Not sure if this had the intended effect. Frankly I’m happy with what we were able to get

I brought this up earlier, suggesting either a change in the number of images or randomizing the order. Even adding a single (or two for the superstitious) would do it.

12 images of PD120 (2 min transmit time, with 2 min "rest" time) ends up
having a 2x period of 96 minutes. The period of the ISS is 93 minutes. This means that we frequently end of seeing duplicates of images on successive passes.
I would suggest adding or subtracting an appropriate amount of images to
"break up" the pattern. Just a suggestion.
Happy New Year, everyone.
