Moon too bright and sets at 4am, not ideal to shoot MW. got to wait till after full moon

But your north direction seems ideal to shoot the Summer Triangle

indeed! Andromeda galaxy shld be in view at abt 4.30am thru my kitchen window(abt 20-60° view only), way after the moonset...

n since Andromeda is quite near to part of MW & lotsa interesting DSOs including Triangulum, might as well captured those if weather permit.

but darn, just realized my upstair neighbour is drying their clothes using moonlight!

Wow good piece of info! Gosh...You are tempting me to wake up early for andromeda

That is quite alot of comatic abherration (coma). Something to do with the settings or the lenses?

Hi mariner.

Yes. The a lot of coma due to the lens. As well as the settings of my DSLR. A small price to pay for my light weighted setup.

Shot on 28 July 2013, 9:30-10:15pm
Location - Singapore as usual. At a dirt track near the iconic Bukit Timah rail bridge

25 x 30sec + 5 dark frames

Amazing job, George! Almost can't tell this is from Singapore! Crazy photography and processing skills.

Gary thanks for your kind words! I think there are still got rooms for improvement...can't fully eliminate the LP by PP. Perhaps may need to hunt for another (hopefully darker) site to shoot.
