32 credited Sentinel-2 crops

The scene gallery holds 32 credited Sentinel-2 crops of the stored Lamu anchors. Each frame is a catalog crop. It is not a pass count, not a surveyed map, and not a flight. Whole-scene cloud cover is the scene’s own figure, not a mask result.

Sentinel-2 true-colour crop centred on the stored coordinate for Shela, Kenya, acquired 2026-10-15.

The single paired comparison stays on Lamu then and now. This note does not add a scene that is not already on the gallery.
