Also, it's probably less stressful on the experimenter
to _cover_ the board in steps, rather than uncover it.

This is because it gets the 'fine detail' of the short
exposures out of the way first and the longer ones
do not require such precise timing. Otherwise, your
stress builds up as you proceed ;-)
