Milky Way Brighton

[robindurant]

I have been waiting for a clear night to test my New Astrotrac on the Milky Way. I am please to say that I was not disappointed considering I live in the Bright City, it handled 5 minute subs easily. This is 20 at 5 minutes, Canon 450D DSLR 18mm lens

Wow...

Being a numpty newbie I was under the impression that in the UK we were so light polluted seeing the Milky Way was almost impossible.

super shot great piece of kit you have there

[JB80]

Impressive. It musn't be so bad in Brighton after all.

You must of used a LP filter? My pics wash out after 30 seconds.

Used to live in Brighton and there was so much light even seeing the moon was a problem - were you up on the cliffs somewhere or out near Devils Dyke?

[jflowers]

[Keiran]

Amazing considering the equipment and location.

Pibbles - Yes to Filter, the EOS LP -- Sologutarist61 - No, in the Patcham area. I see from my garden the Brighton area lit up like a bonefire so any imaging lower than 45 degrees alt is a waste of time, but at the Zentth or near like the MW is the light polution does not have so much effect.

Good job Robin, what focal length were you using ??

[Gra]

Love it. I'm starting to like the widefield more these days.

Superbly done Robin

Defintely spured me on to get out and try it from a dark sky cliff top site with a sea level horizon shot in a few months time...

Ahh, I'm glad you said that, gives me hope for some shots using the LP filter.

Brilliantly processed too.

in a few months time...

Is that when the next clear night is?

[Psychobilly]

I have one particular shot i want to take but it also needs the tide to be right...

I haven't been able to get it for the last few years because of the weather and this year doesn't look too good so far either...

[laser_jock99]

Good image- you surely must take your Astrotrak to a dark sky next and find out the true potential!!

[JonH]

That's a beautiful shot, you must be well chuffed with your new Astrotrac.

[melsky]

Fantastic Robin you've caught the colours beautifully, you're going to love the Astrotrac.
