Most software treats time as a background condition: a clock to check, a timer to start, a duration to report. OORT asks what changes when elapsed time becomes part of the image itself. In this field guide, a comet watch is rendered as persistent exposure, giving each passing interval a visible trace instead of reducing the vigil to a timestamp.

That idea offers a useful lens for AI tools and automation. A process can be technically complete while its history remains hard to read: what accumulated, what stalled, what persisted through a long wait. Here, the interface makes duration legible without turning the experience into a dashboard. Restraint does the work. Light holds; time leaves evidence.
The case study follows this code-only nocturne from its premise through the details that shape the encounter, including how a held exposure can make a remote celestial event feel present. It also shows why the technique suits a field guide built around attention rather than interruption. There is a small but consequential choice at the center of the design: the display does not simply tell you how long the vigil has lasted. It lets you see what that duration has become.
