Here is what Kyle said about it. I thought this had been forwarded to all observers, but maybe not. From Kyle: There is a ~30 minute gap when the galactic plane is passing over, this is an unfortunate artifact from tiling South-to-North and not having done the NGC yet. We'll just have to observe plates out of spec until new plates come online to fill that gap.
