LIGHTS, FFS!

The challenges of astrophotography in a semi-public place. This was my third or fourth 240 second foreground exposure ruined by light pollution. Fortunately, I had just opened the shutter so I was able to make a little lemonade from the lemons.

Do you live in SE Utah? I know a photographer based out of Moab who shoots a lot of the scenery. I spent a ton of time out there when I was living in SW Colorado. Not shooting the sky, but loving the views! Thanks for sharing!
