Want To Image in Heavy Light-Pollution?  I'll Show You How.

​

Astronomers want dark skies for deep-sky astro-photography. However, most of us live in or near light-polluted urban areas and simply don't have them. What to do?

 

For some of us our solution is to travel to dark skies but this is usually only a few times a year as it can be difficult, time-consuming and even expensive. Some of us simply aren't able to travel so freely.  And then there are the many of us who simply don't bother with urban astronomy at all figuring, “What's the point?”. Meanwhile, we ignore the light-polluted but still clear skies right over our urban heads. Why?

 

Exploring this astronomy website will show you that rewarding deep-sky astro-imaging can be done in heavily light-polluted city locations.  You can do it right from the comfort of your light-polluted city home or even from an enclosed inner-city apartment balcony and largely without any filters.  Find out how right here.

 

Still unsure?  Check out my light-polluted astronomy images in the menu above and decide for yourself.
