It goes to show the remarkable results that are obtainable from conditions that are far from ideal. Well done.

Too true, it's great that narrowband imaging, like Daves effort here, is not really affected by the lights of a big city, thank god
I did almost exclusive narrowband imaging from mucky Newcastle skies for 18 months up until a year ago, even resorting to producing hybrid RGB images using narrowband data
....the new dark and steadier skies of semi rural Canberra are a dream, especially for galaxies
