Comments, Observations

One image ruined by airplane, 15 images ruined by thin clouds. Due to light pollution, thin clouds yield a green background. Light pollution without clouds yields a blue background. (There was also a nearly full moon...)

No clouds versus thin clouds (NGC1535 is largest star-like object in the thumbnails below):
