I thought that imaging from the city would be a waste of time. With a DSLR it is.
I can not do more than a 30 sec image with my modded 20D here in Brisbane (4.5km from CBD), a 60 sec shot looks like it was shot through a Fanta bottle.
However I have been remarkably surprised that when shooting with my QHY8 or QSI to the North, North east, or north west I can easily do 15 min subs without appreciable effects. That is also doable with a DSI II pro.
Have a look at some of my shots and Peter_4059 with QHY8 and DSIs.
Neither of use use light pollution filters or any other aid.
Ive done some narrow band but leaving it for when the clouds disappear ie some time in the next few months
