Thanks guys...
I've had a play with the levels and color balance on the M8 and M20 shots.. I think the 47tuc image is pretty right as is..
I am on speaking terms with the neighbors, and whilst last night was annoying, its very coincidental that it happened on the night that I was going to image... They are usually well behaved as far as the lights go.. mind you coming into summer they may get carried away with outdoor entertaining in which case I'll have to work something out...
Randall, If anyone at barambah has a white light even remotely that bright, i will personally shoot them. Im not about to drive 200kms to suffer light pollution woes!
I've looked at the camera again, and the moisture inside it has dissipated, I will have a go with a rocket blower camera cleaner and see how that goes, failing that, metho or isopropyl and a high quality q-tip might be in order...
Anyways - redone images.
