Looks really terrific Peter.
I'm gobsmakked how you do such nice LRGB under light pollution.
Would you considered writing a tutorial and sharing your technique?
I have given talks on urban imaging at both Sydney Observatory and the Mudgee Star party....but as I have mentioned earlier it comes down to maximising signal, while minimising noise. Counterintuitively that also means long subs with large apertures.

As for a tutorial...I have a bit on my plate at present. RASNZ have asked me to be the judge () for their astro-photo competition across the pond.

Maybe after that is done....

Well... one and a half...I was a bit lazy with the overlap.

Lots of nice stuff in that area...and if you want to bang out just the one image for an evening...bright and easy works for me.
