The catch is fine here but I'm pretty worried about this creating an infinite loop, e.g. if we accidentally get an image of the inside of the dome and no stars. Is there a good way to guarantee this doesn't get stuck?

Secondarily, maybe if the number of footprints is extremely low but not zero, we're better off just punting rather than trying to chase it by adjusting the detection threshold factor? (like, if we have two footprints, is that image really salvageable?)

As you point out in the ticket, I'll change this to just bail out instead of trying to adapt to what is likely to be a lost cause...
