Milky Way over North Dublin clty light pollution

Took this image on 23 November. Six shots using modified DSLR with Astronomik CLS filter on a tripod.

6X40sec exposures stacked with Deep Sky Stacker and processed in PS including "Peters Actions-Star Trail elimination" and RC GradientXterminator.

Was surprised to get this image with such a short exposure stack through the light pollution. I am encouraged to try again.

It certainly dispels that myth where you have to get a long way from the city to get shots such as this.

Well done.

Nice shot- well done. A tough subject under such demanding conditions.
I found that short exposure work well also (10-20 seconds depending on the lens so there is no trailing)

I took this image a few years ago. I took 14 frames of 20 seconds each and stacked them. All from a static tripod but from a semi-dark site.

Continuing my struggle against Dublin light pollution for wide field photos with DSLR and Tripod. This is 7 X 30sec with Astronomik CLS filter. Custom white balance set using night sky. Thought I'd insert labels for fun.
