Pierre if it helps, while I don't live in a dense city we still have bright LED street lights but I find some places in my back yard where I'm in less light than others and my imaging improves by my moving into the darker areas of the yard. I also have significant tree coverage from neighbouring properties which can be both a cure and a curse (80% of stuff I want to photograph is behind those trees).

Of course this only helps if you have a yard and in Melbourne would be like when I lived in Sydney, too much ambient light everywhere.
Perhaps filters may help which I'm sure would have been suggested already.


This is why I purchased the Astro-Trac so I can take it to a friends farm 15 minutes away with pitch black skies and no street lights, the portability will be a huge bonus when I get to it (health and weather).
