Thanks All,
Appreciate the wonderful comments
Very happy with the results I’m getting from this new camera and the Duoband filter in less than desirable conditions for Astrophotography in my Sydney location
Bortle 8 skies
I’m located at the bottom on my street only 10m above sea level
Both neighbours either side has massive 2 story homes riddled with exterior wall lights and rear floods ( usually left on until midnight, for the life of me I don’t know why , haven’t people heard of motion sensors )
Limited view south ( above 40 deg )
Limited view north ( above 50 deg )
Limited view west ( above 50 deg )
No view south west
Plus some big neighbours trees east and north east
Why do I bother ?
Answer , once you have a passion for something you love , you put up with obstacles and do the best you can with what you have !!
On the other hand , I’m fortunate to have a retirement holiday home on the South Coast NSW with Bortle 3 skies located on the high side of my street and no neighbours lights etc.. lovely location !!
So in a nutshell I have both sides of the coin in regards to AP locations , which makes it so challenging and enjoyable. I also observe with my 12” Goto dob at my South Coast haven
