Looking to the south the sky was nice and dark and very clear, however light pollution was visible looking east towards Swansea. I tested out a 50mm f/2.4 lens piggybacked on my Vixen DX mount. I was also using an Atik 383L mono CCD camera with a set of Astronomik RGB filters attached to the front of the camera lens.
I captured 60 second sub frames with matching dark frames and combined them to reduce the effect of noise in the final image. The total exposure time was only 60 seconds for each RGB filter and 4 60 seconds for the luminance data without using a filter.
