Hi Chris. This is the result of 10 x 2min lights. I used ICNR to create darks. So the dark subtraction for reducing pixel noise occurred after each individual exposure.

Thats a lovely image, although a bit small to give it any critique.

well done though, its very good quality.

Thanks Duncan. I weighed up making it a larger image, but that would have been at the expense of quality. I would have ended up with a setting of only around 60% quality if I'd saved the jpeg around 1000 pixels or higher.

Might be a light pollution gradient.

What settings did you use?

Hi RB.

I used f4, ISO 800, and had my 24-70mmL set at 50mm.

The glow could have come from next door. A block of units with a lot of outside lighting.

Not sure about the green colour. It was there in the image, and I've noticed it in other Milky Way widefields. Dunno
