Another dark moon period rolling by in Sydney with hardly any chances of imaging. Also a report in today's SMH regarding the ever increasing light pollution worldwide. Even on a clear night the visibility in my sky (in NW Sydney) is pretty poor with only very bright stars visible by eyeball. I remain amazed though at the ability of my QHY9 colour camera to get fairly decent images of even feint nebulosity. However, I have been progressively increasing my sub exposures over the years and now often aim at taking at least 9x15min subs to capture some of the feinter nebulosity.
I feel rather envious of you Alex for having a nice dark site at Tabulum!
Look forward to seeing some of your composites when you get your (astro) gear together.
