All images only in astronomical twilight. Astroturf no longer occurs.
So far, only 10 hours per channel in narrowband. I'll continue, hopefully to double it and some RGB to color the stars (and especially to show the central ones that are not visible in narrowband).

Most of the images at astronomical twilight, it's getting close to the time without darkness.

Lousy seeing, full moon, clouded over after two hours despite the forecast, so no color.

My second pure Linux processing. Not Photoshop anymore, but GIMP (Debian, GNOME, Wayland). I'm still not very good with Gimp.

Freeze the pointing camera at the beginning, so no pointing and there is some walking noise.

This winter the seeing has been particularly awful. Only 2 hours of L and then it got high.
