With such a his res system, you are completely at the mercy of the sky for detail and sensitivity - no way round that but to find a site as good as the one in Chile. Regards Ray

Thanks Ray. It does depend to some extent on the target of course. There are far easier galaxies to image than NGC300.

Wow - no one seems to be getting better than pics than them.
The pics look like they are from the Hubble.

Maybe longer exposures would bring your picture out?
Have you tried any different processing to brighten everything?
Anyway - it's a good sharp pic.

cheers
Allan

Thanks Allan. I'm still playing around with it but so far haven't produced a better image. Of course longer exposures would help - perhaps I'll get some more data when the moon goes away.

Thanks Dave. I live in hope that maybe lighting authorities will install better lighting fixtures but in general the whole light pollution situation is getting worse. There's a new development starting up to the south east of Canberra that will probably kill my last reasonably good sky.
