You'll have to explain that one to me. Cortex M-33's? Or would that be how many photos of Messier M33 you can process per hour? [You did mention getting into astrophotography....]
Messier 33, yes. It was this month's challenge for beginners over on Cloudy Nights, and I got a whopping 3 hours of time on it all month. But it takes about 23 minutes for my M1 Max to do a batch calibration + stack from the ~32GB data set that 3 hours produced. The work is CPU bound most of the time, and sometimes I/O bound, so I should get a rather noticeable jump.
If I had 10 hours of data, it easily would be longer than an hour to do the calibration + stack. I've got a guess on how much I can save here, but I'll wait until I have the numbers to share the guess and how off I am.
