Description

Having 3 nights of clear, low humidity nights is a rarity, so I took advantage of this and took 3 nights of imaging in my backyard.   I culled down the 3 nights to 78 of my best frames.  There is a bit of light pollution that had to be removed due to the fact that I was shooting east.  I also think it created a bunch of artifacts in the gradients which was a royal pain to process.  Still, considering where I am in the middle of suburbia, the Optolong L-Quad Quadband is working wonders for my backyard.  I hope to add some H-Alpha data, and also try to shoot in the Bortle 2 to 4 darker skies which involves taking my setup out to the countryside.
