Imaging from my fourth floor balcony observatory in the heart of Brisbane city with a full moon and mega light pollution. Only two hours of total imaging time the result is promising. To reduce the noise, the gain needs to be reduced to unity, longer subs need to be captured (10-15 mins), more data needs to be captured and the camera taken to -10 degrees. Each of these objects would be a good individual target for the Borg55FL and ASI183MM camera.
