smr Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi all, My parents live under bortle 4, 20.65 magnitude skies, half an hour drive away. I live further north under bortle 6, 19.32 magnitude skies. Would there be a big difference imaging wise / exposure length if i were to image from their garden ? Finally, we have a caravan in Norfolk with class 4, 21.64 magnitude skies. Is that a huge difference over 20.65 mag? That's a 2 and a half hour drive away so because of work etc. I can't get there all the time, but I'm wondering if clear sky weekends it may be worth it now and then.

Z3roCool Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi, I am in a similar situation to you. I shoot from my Dads in Bortle4 on the Isle of Wight with DSLR and get good results. If I do the same at home in Bortle6 the results are not as good. I am planning on going Narrowband for home and RGB when on the IOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
