Light Pollution at Les Granges

[RobertM]

I'm just starting to get through the mass of DSLR images I took at Les Granges and came across this one ... don't think I need say anything else 



Fortunately it was only on a single 5min sub 

[MarkS]

I do hope you have many 5 min subs of that.
If so, it will make a stunning Milky Way image.

[RobertM]

Mark, I have about 130 x 5 min subs of various parts of the Milky way to process so it'll take me a while.

Namibia

OOh like that, Robert

[Jim]

Lovely image Robert, wish we were back there.

Darker place Chris? I'm intrigued, you buying somewhere?

Cool!  I'm really looking forward to the final result(s).

[Rocket Pooch]

I was thinking of Arizona 1st and then maybe Namibia...

[RobertM]

What, a two centre jaunt !  I guess it would be less tiring than going to the Atacama

[Rocket Pooch]

No I won't go there because it has stranded minors and Gary Glitter.....

[Ian]

Gary Glitter.....

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I don't think you're quite his type. You should be ok.

[Mac]

Namibia's closer and at least if you realy wanted to you could drive there .
might take you a month or two though.

There must be places that are closer and just as dark?

Mac

[Rocket Pooch]

yes there are, but not with daytime safari's, and the food in usa is yummy

[RobertM]

Ok was that me

Actually no, you weren't the culprit, it was Fay's 2,000,000 candle power 'red' head light.  It's the only red torch I know that can cast a shadow on a tree 50m away

[Fay]

Well in that confined imaging area, if you do 130x5mins there is 100% chance of getting a beam in a few frames. I would think my light is no brighter than anyone else's, it is a standard headlamp.

Robert,  you have a white light on all the time on your laptop lid....perhaps it was that
