Nahla Tracker
Live day/night tracker and gallery for Nahla, a remote Elite Dangerous moon.
lysander666.github.io
For my most involved study, I have now made a live tracker for the day/night cycle on Nahla! This will be updated for improved accuracy as I gather more observation data.
More updates to be included here:

Nahla-esque are now on Spotify and all releases are also on Bandcamp 🖤🦇🌕
#elitedangerous references and black metal/gothic metal finally collide! I'd say this was an Arabic version of Darzamat or Astarte 🖤
Enjoy [if it's your thing]!

Nothing much more to do but be patient... and get on with other stuff!

It may be unusual, but when I land on the rim of the main crater here... I'm always reminded of why this love affair started.
Yes, nobody else does this.
Nobody spends nearly six months on a single moon 🌕
But... if that place gives you something nothing else can? Why leave.

In a move that nobody asked for or expected, here is the first single from metal band "Nahla-esque".
✔️ female-fronted oriental death/black metal
✔️ Arabic lyrics
✔️ songs NOT about space
✔️ named after a planet in an Elite system just because of reasons

I have a new #elitedangerous alt - Yazra, Rawrunner Zell's sister - who I will put on a fleet carrier as her observer in the field.
The Cobra Mk V is a beautiful little vessel for exploration!
Currently I'm at @distantworlds3.bsky.social HQ, I'm in awe of what's been created in this system!

'Black Friday' - the Friday night in London the police dislike the most since it's the evening before Xmas when most people get raucously drunk.
This is my black Friday, ~3.4k ls from Nahla in Hope system. On Gauri with moon Chaumunda close by [very close!] 🌕
This'll do for me!

A floating point error in the Nahla Tracker code created phase display lag of up to TWO HOURS when anchoring.
This was because of a ~0.00000001 ms rounding glitch in the code. Crazy how these seemingly infinitesimal offsets can create such massive differences.
Now fixed... but wow. #elitedangerous

Five minute intervals of true night in phase lambda (λ) at Nahla today, showing just how dark λ can get.
The phase clock was absolutely correct on the tracker and it's wonderful to see this stellar movement in sync with the clock 🌌

Now that all of the creative work about Nahla is done, it's time for the REAL work to begin in situ: PhD viva preparation.
This moon now has:
✔️ Its own live tracker 💻
✔️ A minigame 🎮
✔️ A soundtrack/album 💿
✔️ A mention in a thesis 📖
That's more than most planets in #elitedangerous, I would think! 🌕
