Excellent result under the given skies. The faintest bits of the galaxy are all there, and the core is very sharp and detailed.
I remember when I first moved to Leonay, more than 20 years ago. There were market gardens, horses grazing in the fields, and the sky was dark enough. Now there's 3 new housing estates, the sky is bright orange, and you can read a newspaper in the garden at midnight. First galaxies and then narrowband became impossible. You've probably noticed your sky getting brighter by the hour, as it goes from rural to suburban. Here at the farm, the local towns of Orange (45 Km, 41,000 souls after the mining boom), and Dubbo (120 km, similar size) are distant patches of light on the horizon, but Sydney (310 km, 4.3 million) is still the brightest.
