Thanks Steve,
I actually captured nearly 2 hours but culled an hour for 2 reasons , one is a found quite a few some subs with slightly bloated stars ( atmosphere ) and two , the Skyglow at low altitudes and early in the evening is ridiculous, once your target gets above 40 degrees later into the evening ( say 9.30 -10.00pm ) the Skyglow does reduce a bit and keeps reducing a bit until just after midnight. It’s still bad in the early hours but no where near as bad as earlier in the evening. I use Astap to review my subs and you can actually see the change in Skyglow as you flick through the subs. I guess as approx 5 to 6 million folk go to bed at 10pm to 11pm in Sydney, they turn lights off in the home and backyard , so that could be anywhere from 10 million to 50 million lights turns off , plus industry slows down 50% so that’s possibly another 10 million lights.
It’s incredible you can see the change in Skyglow from 9.30 pm to say 2.00am on your subs.
In regards to Omega and the trillions and trillions of Stars , I’d like to see a 3D model of it and see how deep ( in light years) this giant glob really is !!!
Thanks
Pretty happy with this quick snap !
