Wrote a 2-part guide on imaging from light polluted skies that some might find helpful (The next part will be published next week). https://rouzastro.com/guides/
Like most amateur astrophotographers, I find myself in a constant battle with light pollution. The ever-present glow of modern city lights can be seen for hundreds of miles and even more by sensitive cameras used nowadays. In a perfect world, we could all send our telescopes to remote mountain top sites, but that’s not an option for most of us. Over the years, I have tried a number of techniques, filters, and processing steps that have allowed me to continue enjoying my passion despite light polluted skies. In this two-part guide, I will share some of those experiences, with the hope that they will prove useful to others. In Part 1 we’ll cover the effects of light pollution, broadband imaging (luminance and RGB), and narrowband imaging. Part 2 will include best practices, CMOS camera settings, sub exposures, integration time, flat Calibration, and useful Pixinsight features (NSG and DBE).
