Hello,

I moved recently to get some darker skies, although last night I was mainly popping out to check out the 8" F4 (long story soon) I did some light pollution photos.

EOS300D ISO800 F4.5, out of focus,

Directions approximate....

Up, just for Mick.



South



East



North



I did not do West, I had run out of animal skin, and a Deer was bogging me out :-(

Chris,

Looks like a very acceptable sky to me.  Is it Lydd?

Very jealous!

Nope a few miles from Blacklands, like 3.

Must agree, up is certainly dark around Blacklands, up a little bit is not too shabby either  :lol:

Looking at http://www.need-less.org.uk/ and using their simulator

You're just trying to make Chris travel further  :twisted:

Looks OK although only March to October, but as you say, should be checked out.
