Hit exactly 1,000 hours of exposure on my Andromeda shot

I was stacking frames from my backyard in Phoenix and the software counter just ticked over to 1,000.0 hours total integration time. It felt silly because I started this project three years ago just to see how far I could push a single target, not aiming for a round number. Has anyone else accidentally landed on a huge, neat milestone like that with a long-term astro project?

That's a wild coincidence with the 1,000 hours. Makes the three years feel worth it.

Honestly @seanperez, my math was so bad I almost celebrated at 100 hours.

3 years of work and still celebrating milestones? @seanperez, that feels a little backward.
