Description

2 sessions from balcony in city center (not the best choice regarding city lights pollution BUT much warmer than the inside of a car parked in the countryside in the middle of nowhere ... especially in winter  ! ).
In that case, I usually choose idas NBZ filter to help against light pollution but the counterpart is the lack of star colors.
This time, I decided to use idas lps p3 filter and made a compromise in lowering single shots at 120s (instead of the usual 180s ).

Unfortunately, nights were partially cloudy, so I did my best to make balance between suppressing shots (due to bad quality picture) and keeping enough of them (to collect decent signal).

Clear sky.
