Add some more time (without the Moon).
Have fun!

Hi Peter, Yes I am happy with the detail, not happy with the star colours though. I may try a re-process without stars and add them back later. Need to work out how though.
As far as the moon is concerned, every night in Glebe is like a full moon.

Which sky glow filter are you using ?

Hi Ryan. It's a Astronomic UHC filter. However It still allows UV/IR. I have just purchased a ZWO dual band and am keen to try that when the weather improves.

I’m out in the suburbs at Bortle 7/8
Did you use Startools for processing ?
I didn’t hear from you after I sent the sample workflow
Well done !!

Hi Martin. Yes, thanks a lot for that Star Tools tutorial. This was processed with Star Tools. I think I am getting better but am still not happy with the over processed look I am getting. I am also trying Gimp but that tends the other way, and masking is not so easy. Anyway I will keep at it as I purchased Star Tools.
Hopefully the ZWO filter I purchased will improve things, but guiding is still an issue. For this shot the guide scope was pointing just above a street light which washes out the entire guide image, so I couldn't get better than about two on the graph. There was also a lot of jumps to 4 which meant I had to discard about 20 frames as the stars were too eggy. I have uploaded a few photo's so you can see how poor my imaging location is. The first image is just prior to running a PA routine so is pointing directly south, which is where I had to point to take this image. The second is pointing west for a Lagoon shot. This is better as it is pointing away from direct street lights.
