 * Support – EV, and detailed. (Sidenote FWIW, there is a halo or flare next to bright stars, easy to see in the corners. Also I had a tough time opening it at full size in the browser, perhaps because of the color space.) Bammesk (talk) 00:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Support – Great-looking image! Opens full-size without problems in Firefox/Mac. BTW: that "flare" is called coma, described in detail here: Coma (optics). --Janke | Talk 15:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
