What's the night sky like when clear from Hereford part of UK just out of interest? Do you have much light pollution to contend with? |
Hi Rob
Thanks for the comments, I will be updating my website soon to include my current setup, etc.
The light pollution where I live is a constant issue, I am surrounded by neighbours on three sides two of which have security lights that come on periodically during the night and on the other side I get an orange glow from street lights on the other side of our house. Seeing conditions vary but are generally average, when I have good focus and run continuous 3 second exposures the FWHM typically fluctuates between 1.5 and 3. RGB imaging is possible but only when the subject is very high up near the zenith and when the moon isn't present so RGB needs a lot of pre-planning and luck hence why most of my imaging is narrow band.
Best wishes
Gordon
