    Integration time (running total):
    * HA 49 X 180s (147m)
    * Total: 2h27m

    Integration time (running total):
    * OSC RGB 18 X 120s (36m)
    * OSC NB 156 X 300s (780m)
    * Total: 13h00m
    
    Integration time target
    * Target: 12 hours
    * Progress: 108%

The imaging is finished for now. The data is excellent and deserves to be experimented with in processing. The RGB stars also need to be implemented.
