Light Pollution Filter

[aramitsharma]

I've been pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of Optolong's UHC filter. I live in Canary Wharf area in London and this filter enabled me to extend the exposures a lot. The sky background is easy to get rid of as well.. It produces a green cast which is very easy to remove. 

The image is not great, sorry the collimation is off and the tracking was a hit and miss, but I like the colours in this RGB image.

Canary Wharf! I bet you can hardly see any stars with your naked eyes there. I wouldn’t have believed you could get something as good as this there. Just shows you can get decent images in light polluted areas.

Tremendous shot under those circumstances and all credit for having a go.  Along similar lines, I spent the last year not photographing anything either side of full moon. I just proved that that was now wasted imaging time! Thanks for posting.
