Bortle 9 sky from Glebe

I took some flats, so not sure why the image is not completely corrected as I can still see a dust bunny?

Could only take 7 lights as the clouds rolled in. Also I don't think that a duo band filter is the best tool for galaxies, but in Bortle 9 what can you do?

Cropped as even at F7 it is quite small.

The shooting environment. If you look on the right I had the pleasure of a park disco, plenty of flashing lights but good music
