sky-cam.conf: comment out grey filter — must be explicitly enabled

Browse Source 
The SEASONS_GREY_STDDEV_MIN and SEASONS_GREY_DARK_FLOOR settings are
now commented out so the filter is fully inert by default and requires
a deliberate edit to activate.

# A frame is only skipped when BOTH conditions hold:
# 1. pixel standard deviation (0–255) is below SEASONS_GREY_STDDEV_MIN
# 2. mean brightness (0–255) is above SEASONS_GREY_DARK_FLOOR
# This keeps genuine night frames (dark + low stddev) while dropping

# SEASONS_GREY_STDDEV_MIN=0 disables the filter entirely (default).

#SEASONS_GREY_STDDEV_MIN=5 # skip if stdev < 5 (very uniform)
#SEASONS_GREY_DARK_FLOOR=30 # …but only if mean brightness > 30 (not a night frame)
