How long do you capture a planet for?

I've seen some people mention that they'll record 'half an hour of Mars' for example.


I wonder what people are hoping to do with these amounts of data?


Is it an attempt to capture time-lapse animations, or just continuously capturing in the hope of catching a break in the seeing? In either case, that's a lot of data to process, isn't it? I get it's necesarry for a timelapse, but for a single image it seems like a lot.



I tend to 'have a few goes' and get a few sets of data, then move on unless conditions change markedly, but maybe I could learn from others here?
