NGC 4594 Sombrero Galaxy

Same issues with LP and Moon last night, but this time I was cocooned in neighbours lights from both sides plus Sombrero was ascending north east to north causing moon glare across the opening of the OTA ( need to build an enclosure 4m high !!! ) Doesn’t anyone use motion sensors for their exterior lighting anymore , these are new homes either side of me. My home is 70 years old and I only have 5 outside lights all of which are controlled by motion sensors , I don’t bother anyone !!!!! Just having a winge !!!
6” f6 newt

Heading down the coast to our holiday pad on the 22nd May , no more LP issues !!!!
Can’t wait

I know what you mean about LP, I was even copping it a little bit at home from a neighbor over a kilometer away! They have a horse working arena with a couple of huge LED lights on the side of a shed to light it, pitched practically horizontally and they are on through at least until midnight every. single. night. Even from a kilometer away they are bright to look at directly.

I only noticed them after the bushfire went across our place 5 years ago and took out all the scrubby stuff in between, thankfully it has grown back enough now to start blocking them out again. Must be nice to not care about your power bill.

Did you use the module to rid the diffraction spikes from the image?

Chris - thanks so much

Paul - thanks I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates unnecessary man made light pollution

Karl - using a Baader coma corrector does soften your stars and spikes lightly, before I used one they use to be pin point sharp. Also during processing many modules reduce your spikes a little bit eg: Wipe , Decon , Magic shrink and tighten. Also a heavy de noise around 8 to 10 pixels at the end reduces them a bit plus read noise reduction as well

Carlton - thanks
