Well tonights imaging session got cut short before it started due to hazy clouds, so I've resorted to thinking about astronomy rather than practicing it.
What I'm thinking tonight is, because I live in quite light polluted skies (CO says Bortle 7, but I'd probably say Bortle 8, what with the streetlights), is there any point to shooting luminance frames or am I better off just getting in as many hours of R,G and B as I can?
The reason I ask is because of the LP, obviously I am limited in exposure time, I can get away with 45 - 60s seconds in R, G and B, and 30s max in luminance, which means a helluva lot of subs, many hours of imaging time and lots of processing power.
Am I better off utilising my imaging time getting the hours in on the R, G and B and making a synthetic lum rather than shooting additional lum subs?
