Collision,

As at my last all-of-charted space run with a November 2021 download
from TravellerMap, I have 51,190 stars in 142 sectors.  Those counts
exclude the Core Route sectors.

What traveller_pyroute designates as "Second Survey" is 13,370 stars in
32 sectors.

As to why I have those totals to hand, it has to do with some wombat
trying to speed up traveller_pyroute (frinstance,
https://github.com/makhidkarun/traveller_pyroute/issues/31 ).

That help?
