How Artificial Light Pollution Impacts Astrophotography

- In this video, I want to show you how light pollution impacts astrophotography. Earlier in June, I went to Cherry Springs State Park and captured 2 hours of exposure time on the Iris Nebula. When I came back home, I wondered how the image of the same target would look under a more light-polluted sky. I didn't expect such a significant difference, guys!
Here is the list of equipment I used to capture the Iris Nebula:
- Telescope (80mm APO): bit.ly/4asUxsM
- Camera: bit.ly/3sVdUKX
- Filter Wheel: bit.ly/4a7IUHM
- Mount: bit.ly/3sXb5cx
- Guide scope: amzn.to/3Rvm8mk
- Guide camera: amzn.to/3PfUbOr
- 7-port USB Hub: amzn.to/4c2dfsM
- Mini PC: amzn.to/3xl5f7e

Major difference. The bortle 3 skies looks amazing.
Great demonstration of how light pollution can affect an image. I can only imagine what little would be visible in a Bortle 8 or 9! I like your presentation style, efficient and to the point. I look forward to your next video.
Thank you!
Great video, I would love to see a similar video where you collected enough data at bortle 6, too find how long does it take to get enough data to match the 3 hour bortle 2 SNR.
Thank you! I might make this video in the future. Stay tuned!
Weird thing: crime rates have dropped greatly but people's and municipalities' response is to light up yards, driveways, roads, and lots with daylight-level LED. It's insanity.
Excellent video
Tbh your b6 result is fantastic
Thanks!
Bortle 2 is 16 times slower than bortle 6? How does 16 times total integration from bortle 6 compare? :(
30 more hours i think
can we obtain the same results as bortle 2 by increasing the exposure time in bortle 6?? e.g 2 hours in bortle 2 and 4 hours of exposure in bortle 6
8:18
We can, and it'll take far more than 4 hours under Bortle 6 to match SNR from Bortle 2
@@AstroCreation okay. Thank you
