M42
Orion may be the most popular target in the Northern clusters. Is that because it preserves remnants of a beacon to Terra? It must be. So, we approached Orion, and took the longest jump yet.
The longest jump was a challenge. The tech priests had to split the exposures into batches in order for our systems to be able to cope with the volume of data. Speaking of which, the jump generated more than 145Gb of data (the bulk of which was: 670 x 22Mb in raw files, 670 x 100Mb in converted images, 670 x 100Mb in aligned images).
