Calling for any more submissions.

There is a new moon coming up at the end of January. Should provide some very dark nights to get your LP images in to me.

Baz.

Did anyone get any this new moon?

Send me those pics!

Baz.

well, I don't know if it helps, but NYC is probably the most light polluted area in the world:

Let me know if this helps at all, or if you need additional info.

Hi Joergen. THanks for that link. That's some pretty awesome panoramics in there. I love the fisheye sort of shot looking down on the buildings. You can really feel the cancer of construction spreading out over the land.

Unfortunately, the frame needs to be more like tohe ones on this page

No direct light in the frame, looking up at the sky to where you can see the biggest concentration of stars (if any). It looks like there are non in NY.

Tell me, was it a clear night? Can you see any at all?

hi Baz,

if you go to my other website, luminous-newyork.com, and click on the zoomify links, and zoom almost all the way in, you can see some stars, maybe 500-2000 of them. "Trump Tower and UN" is a good source (1.4 gigapixel, 270 degree view eastward). but yes, stars are somewhat subtle occurrence in the sky over NYC, but they are there.

The best place I found in the US is near Moab, UT on the White rim trail. No light on the horizon of any sort. I had some old film pictures of the stars that were awesome! Sadly I can't find them anymore?

A.S.I.G.N. Could I use my 18-200 Sigma, set at 18mm, to send you a sample of Victoria, BC area? I have the XTi but sold the kit lens.

Thanks Rrdstarr, That would be fine mate, just make sure your aperture is set on 18.

Cheers,
