Milky way out side my window

The verdict is out. We are TOP in being the most Light Polluted Country! "... 80% of the pop had never seen a milky way "


ALL is not lost yet. We still can detect the presence of the MW and see it in captured images. Nowadays prosumer compact and  newer mobile like Huawei P9 have 'pro' settings on the mobile that allows you shot raw with 20-30 sec exposure and high ISO.


 Milky way @ Scorpion's Sting /Sagittarius single shot G5X canon MF f1.8  4.0 sec, ISO 640.  Upstairs neighbour laundry fluttering in the wind. Selected one image from a series. This was shot in June 25 '2016 23:37. Moon should have risen in the east.
Cropped and stack in DSS with x39 LF



Reprocessed the x1 Raw single shot in Camera Raw to bright out the MW.

Mersing - June 3-6 2016

A stitch of x8 LF x0 DF GH3 ISO 1600 20s Samyang 12mm F2.0 using Microsoft free Image Composer Editor ICE. 


It rains too
The little hill facing South - ideal for concentric star trails at night. Eventually i pick the beach but same facing.


Sun rise with Tioman Mountain in the distance. While the rest is still in lumberland I grabbed the p900 and ran out.
Storm front approaching looking towards the sea. 
Canon G5X  x101 LF  stacked using freeware Starstax. Aircrafts left oblique trails. Alone on the pitch dark beach. The battery ran out and clouds came. 

Praesepe cluster below the Sickle.
A Storm is gathering strength and coming
Clouds have not obliterated the bright Galactic core near Sagittarius or Tea-Cup or house



Southern Crux and the Pointers with Milky way band. I picked one shot with cars going pass the road and lit up the bottom right

Three images stitched in Microsoft Image Composer Editor ICE here and below
