That's cool, though I wonder how many astronomers and astrophysicists will be legitimately bummed by this. On the one hand, you get more data to go over and you have to spend less time searching and potentially missing important events. On the other hand, I'd imagine that staring at the stars is part of the draw of those fields.
We're way beyond the days where astronomers peered through eyepieces in the middle of the night or spent all day putting photographic plates into a blink comparator to flick back and forth for months on end. I'm sure there are no professional astronomers - and certainly no astrophysicists - who are unhappy to have computers helping them with the tedious work of finding the little speck of light that just turned on among the hundred billion other little specks of light.
The exciting part comes later, once that new information leads to new understanding.
