Milky way imaging with CLP and waxing crescent moon

[feverdreamer1]

Hi,

Tonight I have the opportunity to drive up to some bortle 4 skies, and I decided to give the milky way a go.

Now I know that today's moon isnt ideal for milky way imaging, but I heard that with a circular polarized you can get away.

Is this true?

Also, I would like to try those pics where you stand with a flashlight. How are those done? Is it one image with the same exposure as the others and stacked?? Also, if I were to want to blend the foreground too, how would I do that?  Is the same as the flashlight thing I mentioned earlier?

I know there are many questions but I'm really new in AP and this is just too fun.

Thanks in advance,

S
