Artem here, that's a strange idea. Right now the sensor got a fixed gain, and so exposure time is meaningless. It won't be too hard to add, but what sort of image would there be, with the frame time of many hours, line by line as the planet rotates? Sounds curious enough to try. :) I anticipate a distorted starfield - every star as a bright point, but all of them shifted in position.

Yes, but distorted because of the way the sensor is also moving.
Ah, interesting. They'll be discontinuous dots along that line, true.
