Description

Tried a bit of an experiment to see if, with enough data, a decent image could be obtained under light pollution. A quick calculation suggested that about 7x more data was needed than in a dark sky site - so about 40 hours or so should be the same as one night at a dark site.

The experiment is not conclusive without doing the same object at a dark site! But even after 40+ hours of data, there is still a lot of noise in this image and not great detail - though admittedly some nights the seeing was appalling.

I think maybe I'll stick more to narrowband in the suburbs and keep the LRGB for dark sky site trips.
