Proof you don't need dark skies to shoot the cosmos.

I'm an astrophotographer shooting from southeast London, under the full glow of the city in Bortle 8 skies. Everything here was captured against the glow: deep-sky nebulae pulled out of the murk with narrowband filters, hydrogen-alpha close-ups of the Sun, timelapses, mosaics, and the occasional escape to darker skies on the coast.

If you're in a city and think astrophotography isn't possible where you live, I hope this stream changes your mind. Light pollution is a challenge, not a wall.
