This is 37x300s with the Player One Uranus C Pro through my TS Optics 102SD f/11 and the Astro-Physics Telecompressor (CCDT67), which reduces the scope to eff. f/6.93. This was taken from my backyard, and my subdivision lately installed new >4k streetlights with no shielding---a disaster for astronomy. I'm doing my best here and still glad I can do something.

Hi Val, nice image. Good luck dealing with the new lighting. 11 years ago the same happened to me but over time the intensity of the LED's has dropped off. My neighborhood uses colonial style fixtures so the light shines laterally away from the pole and not much downward. I have a few neighbors who have hi-intensity motion or static light packs on their garage that are far worse. I look forward to more images with your newer camera.
Clear Skies,
Bill
Thanks, Bill! Yes, those are far worse. I'm sorry. My neighbors have graciously kept such things away and let me observe and let the owls hunt. In the meantime, I have plans for large bushes in strategic corners in the yard.
