It was a bit warm last night (lots of noise) and, if I'm honest,
having just left a 40th birthday party, wasn't as finely honed to the
task as I'd normally have been ;-)

About an hour too late. I'll try again tonight, now I know what's
what.

Nice picture Pete, but I'm a bit surprised with the glow of Portsmouth :
with 5 minutes of exposure, I would have bet that the whole picture
would have been orange.
If my memory is good, the lights of Portsmouth are terrific, aren't they
?

Two factors Norbert - 1) Portsmouth is off to the right of the picture
and 2) Russ Crowman's Gradient Exterminator has recovered what was, in
essence the orange blob you describe. Odd effects like green lights
are the result.

This exterminator is really effective
Where is it possible to find this software ? A quick look with Google
didn't give me any information.

Portsmouth, the only council who actually advertised for a lighting
engineer with specialist knowledge of outdoor uplighters.
Unbelieveable.

Those of us who observe from Portsmouth despair.

Nice image Pete - I prefer the non RCE version ;-). BTW - does it record NSgr05?

They were a bit noisy and too colourful for my liking Maurice. I think
the image scale would not favour picking up NSgr05. If I get another
opportunity I'll take a longer fl lens down (or even a scope).

The page has now been updated with some rather more *tasteful* shots.

Nice pics, what camera/lens setup did you use?
