A record of one sky-gazing session in the Anisota Lab's Nightsky experiment, saved to the gazer's PDS. Captures how long they watched, how they were watching, and a tally of everything their viewfinder witnessed. Like Chronicle records, each session carries an ES256 signature minted by the Anisota backend, so the data can be verified to have come from the app rather than being hand-written.
