In Stanton and Pyro every body lies in one plane with no axial tilt — so there are no seasons, and the daylight phase is the same length everywhere.

Approach

The nearest quantum point on microTech is Shubin Mining Facility SM0-18. From there it is 346.8 km on the shortest route (great circle) or 346.8 km on a fixed compass heading of 279.6 degrees. At 250 m/s and 2 km altitude that works out to roughly 23 minutes of flight time. The great circle is shorter but needs constant correction; on the rhumb line you hold one heading.
