Description

2022 version of Pacman, updating my 2020 version here: https://www.astrobin.com/dwyhqt/0/

Much longer integration, 2 years of more practice, better mount, better camera, same filters.

Color palette derived from ForaxX's dynamic method:

Nearly 24hrs total integration, my longest yet I think. Progress!
