A quick question. Whenever I ty to do an exposure longer than 8-10 seconds it looks really washed out with skyglow. How do you deal with this with longer exposures?
Thanks

Besides light pollution / lunar cycle etc, it's all about the processing. Even with my better than average skies and no Moon, my individual subs don't look like much at all - very washed out and you can barely tell there's a galaxy there... but after stacking a whole bunch of subs with darks flats etc the resultant TIF has a huge dynamic range, from which you can pull quite a lot of detail if you know how. (I only sort of know how! Need to get better at it.)
