Ah nice! Especially when it's taken from KL, light pollution must be just as bad like in Singpore.

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. Nice celebration of end of haze.

Thanks to both Cataclysm and Gary for the words of encouragement.

I measure by this method the SQM as 17.46 at the beginning of the imaging session at 01:30 the time of moon rise. It was cloudless sky till 02:30.

I live right at the boundary of the white and the red zone on the Bortle Scale.

I wonder how the image would turn out from Mersing.

cheers

Thanks Mystiq.

Yes I got tired of planets and moon.

Have to try my luck imaging from KL with f/10.

cheers
