Description

Even though we have the white nights right now and I live near a city (Bortle 5-6), I was able to get this shot with a total of only one hour of exposure time for each of the two panels. Thanks to automation, I was able to take full advantage of the night and still get enough sleep. The use of the IDAS NB2 filter handled the light pollution very well. I always find it amazing how bad the sky can be and you can still get great shots.
