Wow, that sounds so frustrating, and it reminds me of when they redid the main street in my old neighborhood to add a roundabout. Everyone swore it would fix the traffic backups, but it just made the whole thing slower because drivers had no clue how to use it at first. My dad used to joke that the city planners must never actually drive through the areas they keep redesigning on paper. The weird part was that after about a year, things kind of evened out and it was fine, but nobody talks about that first year of pure chaos. It just seems like cities roll out these big changes without thinking about the buses that already work for tons of people. Makes you wonder who they're really building this stuff for, right?

Oh man, my buddy went through the exact same thing last year. He shot M42 for months on just a tripod, stacked a bunch of 10 second subs, and thought he was hot stuff. Then he borrowed a tracker for one weekend and texted me at 2am freaking out because the flame nebula suddenly had actual detail and color in it. Poor guy spent the next month re-editing every old file he had, half happy and half annoyed at himself.
