At KC1XX we certainly won't be doing over 36 hours...very likely less. For
one thing we don't have the manpower to keep going beyond that, not to
mention the fact that none of our crew would want to do more, even if we
could.
This time of year in W1 land, we have about 14-1/2 hours of darkness a day
(defined as the period of time between sunset and sunrise). Personally I
would be happy with a 30 hour time limit. On the other hand, much of Europe
has more darkness hours than we do, so maybe 32 hours would be a good
compromise. The Southern Hemisphere, of course, would have much less
darkness and it probably would not matter much there.
