The gray zone! Mama mia...
And only 48 minutes of integration on such an object is simply criminal, I think.
It's like buying a ticket for the orchestra seats at La Scala or the Opéra Garnier, going in for just 5 minutes, taking a selfie, and leaving :)

Agreed, the unexpected cloud cover ruined everything, but since I love this object, I decided to process something anyway. I'll reshoot it next summer.

Awaiting the result with at least 10 hours of integration! :)
