How often we have called it on

We have not once called this on, across 6 Sunday builds. That is our own weekly verdict rather than a measurement of the trigger, and a condition that fires midweek can pass between two builds.

Night ascents = long-exposure streaks; dawn/dusk = jellyfish plumes. Celestial print demand rides every launch.
