Sentinel telescope contract?

[kurja]

"Log Observation Data" appears to make the telescope work like any science part, giving a few science points, and "Start/Stop Object Tracking" I assume makes the telescope do it's thing and start finding "unknown objects", I've seen a few appear in map view - is the number of asteroids detected shown somewhere? My contract requires 17, telescope has been running for 184 Kerbin days, is it supposed to take this long?

Turns out only objects that are detected while on the designated orbit count for the contract.

This is good information to know. Those contracts can be remarkably picky.

I say thanks too.

On my last livestream i did a sentinel mission, then saved the game. Good to know that i couldnt change the orbit without loosing the contract goal.
