Well, this is embarrassing. Looks like I finally cursed at Starlink enough that I finally opened up some kind of portal in VLEO right over my barn. Sorry everybody! I promise I'll help clean up.

I noticed that switching in #DarkTable color callibration module the illuminant from “daylight” to “custom” (with no other change) changes some hues (despite the color temperature reported staying the same) – blues get more purplish, greens a bit less greeny. Is this a bug?
