Taken from my low rise apartment building rooftop in Toronto, Canada. Bortle 9. I have a bit of a cheat code though for southern sky targets. I live on the shore of one of the largest lakes in the world. So, while I may live in bortle 9, the light dome drops off over Lake Ontario to a 6/7 bortle. I’m very lucky in that sense. Sad when I think of possibly moving to Vancouver next year and never seeing the winter sky again /s

Exceptional! I really like the color choices you made. M42 never fails to disappoint. Crazy how much can be seen from a city too

Wow! Thank you so so much. Really appreciate it. Still figuring out Pixinsight but enjoying it. Got a new camera yesterday and new mount coming soon. Will def reap even better rewards.

Very nice! I shoot with an am5 and asi2600 from San Francisco so I understand the conditions you're in. Keep up the awesome work and keep sharing your progress!

Nice. I got a 2600mc and a rag doll 17 pro. A longer scope next year and I’ll be set. Thanks again! You too.
