I spent a few weeks in Canberra a little while ago, if I didn't have such a crap memory I would have remembered that you were back there and looked you up. I was staying at HMAS Harman, even with the lighting there, the skies were much darker than at home.

I'm very much struggling with the inevitable spread of population down here, in combination with a fast, short FL scope the LP is so invasive, makes LRGB almost impossible using anything but very short subs. Faint detail in comet tails is washed out even in the darker (Western) part of my skies. Hence my propensity for NB images of late.

Looks like I'll have to get used to travelling, or get a job in Bungendore...

Cheers

Yeah the skies here in Canberra are definitely better than most, if not all, other cities in Oz, the isolation and altitude coupled with no industrial activity does it I'd imagine.

Cyan you recon ...probably my propensity for blueness coming through there ... and perhaps your narrowband infected eyes aren't helping you either

Mike
