I see in the processing que some users will upload individual images of each color. If so, this is a long list of images to be processed thus causing a long wait time for others in the que. Are they relying on VPHOT to stack them? I stack the images prior to uploading but maybe that does not provide the most accurate results. What could be some of the reasons they are not uploading stacked images?

They will get through!

Yes Gary, there are a large number of images tonight. They are plate-solved and will make it through in a few hours.

This does not happen that often.  They are meant to be a time series and will not be stacked.
