Obviously we need more inputs from the southern hemisphere. If you take a look at the Bungie community map I linked, ~90% or more of the southern hemisphere users are located in Australia or New Zealand. You guys have to consider time difference though. Our main push is at 11am PST (2pm EST, 7pm GMT). However this translates to 6am in Sydney, Australia for example, so you can expect to receive virtually no southern hemisphere inputs unless you're using proxies, because they will all be asleep.
As for what time of day works best, I'd say either early morning or any time in the late afternoon/evening.
Examples:
@ 5am PST: You should get enough inputs from eastern United States/Canada, it'll be mid-day across Europe, and approx. midnight in Australia.
@9pm PST: You'll get lots of inputs from North America, you probably won't get much from Europe, but it'll be midday in Australia.
So might I suggest we do a big push sometime later in the afternoon as well, so we get those southern hemisphere inputs?

The one thing we kinda learned from the big pushes last night was that it's possible it will be mis-aimed because the geomask is spinning throughout the day. Having consistent pushes on the hour every hour from all sides of the globe is best. If we still don't have enough filled in by tonight we'll have to do another 1-2 hour long push every 5 minutes.

Ya, we definitely still need to regularly get inputs. I just feel that with the new instructions that Bungie gave us yesterday about presumably getting southern hemisphere inputs, it is probably those inputs that would help most fill in the gaps. But ya, I guess we will see how much progressing we`re making

Absolutely - they must have added those words because we we're having so much trouble getting data from the 12o'clock position of the image (Which Sunburned Goose eventually just ended up brute forcing). Southern Hemisphere must be the only thing that can reach that. The geomask only rotates left to right not north to south so there are some places us in the northern hemisphere just won't reach.
