Thanks Lee. Just working with the 18-55 kit lens for now so yes fl is less than ideal.

If so this would account for the redish background.
I find auto white balance is the best, at least for the 1100D, this may help if your not already setting to this.

Otherwise it's actually not a bad result.

Yes, shooting from my backyard in the middle of the burbs. Not doing myself any favours there, a short drive may be in order if I can escape one night.
White balance was set to daylight, I could give auto a try.

Should I be using a longer exposure for this? Although from my testing that just pickes up too much sky glow at home.
