if they doing tracking station, don't bother. Too much light pollution, even up there
Better you go Mayaro on a new moon night, or up toco side
I have a cousin with a place in Poole Village, far off the main road. Amazing what you can see there on a new moon night! Literally zero light pollution

When Venus is rising in the East it's supposed to be so bright that it casts a shadow, but we don't observe it that way anymore because of light pollution. We are also supposed to be able to see Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 Mlya and it's so large that the dusty haze covers half the size of the full moon in the sky.
It's remarkable what we're missing out because of our technological progress.

yup
first time I saw the night sky over mayaro away from beach houses, I was stunned at being able to see the Milky Way
Recently learned that on a perfect night, only about 3k stars are actually visible to the human eye. Somehow I'd have imagined it would have been in the hundreds of thousands.
Also, seeing your shadow cast by a full moon is a trippy experience when you out in a gravel road in he bush and don;t need a flashligt

sounds interesting.
vibesing it, it seems u can over blow the dark, to get finer detail to show up.
it will look washed out. but i think, that image can be put in a photo editor, and u can tweak the curve, to drop back the dark patches back to black, just under the point where the fainter starts show.
hmm, might be good to just use this to stack the images, and then tweak it in a photo editor.
seems like the weather is looking good these days, might get a chance to try sumting
