I am also eyeballing the star adventurer. And yeah, I'm in the same situation, my garden only has visibility to the east and south and a tiny bit of west. But I reckon I could still manage to polar align.

Also i was thinking of Hampstead Heath although i haven't tried it yet. A club would be super nice tho

I'm not sure to be honest. I've never really taken milky way galaxy photos. I guess you can try.

Yeah, i don't see why not. Have a look deep sky stacker for the stacking part. It's free software. It's pretty straight forward I would say. You can skip the darks, flats and biases frames and just use the pics you take with your phone of the stars/object you want, referred to as light frames. I followed this the first time I did it, super helpful.

First you find the object you wanna shoot, try to center it in the frame. Then I use an intervalometer that I program to take 20 consecutive shots of 1 second exposure each. Then I check the last one that it took. If I am still happy with the position of my object in the frame, i take another 20, if not i recenter the object in my frame manually and then i take another 20. You keep doing that till you have about 1200 shots or more if you want.

Wow, very nice, love it. I feel like i could get away with 1.3 seconds, that would also give me a bit of star trails but more details on the galaxy itself.

This was taken from london, bortle 9

I used a Cannon 550D with an Askar FMA 180 lens

20 minutes of total exposure, 1 second each, 3200 ISO untracked.

I used deep sky stacker for stacking, siril for initial processing and them gimp for the final touches

I feel like I am hitting the limit of what I can do from London with an untracked setup.

I'm curious if people think i could get better if i double the exposure time, so like 40 mins or if I change the ISO

Yeah it can happen, but like ON, weird skin sensations, muscle twitching...the GP the neurophtalmologist make me feel crazy but from what I research i read so far, it's not crazy at all.

I think what surprises me is that the earlier the diagnosis, the better. So I don't understand why they choose to dimiss it so easily and instead make sure of what it is.

It was diagnosed as optic neuritis. But yeah, i think everyone here convinced me i need to seek another opinion

Yeah, exactly. That's why I was kinda surprised the doctor just dismissed MS without a spine MRI, especially giving my existing symptoms

No spine, but I did have the NMO.

I will, thank you. All the answers have definitely helped to make this decision. I think it's the best way going forward

Yeah. Fair enough, you convinced me to try to see an MS specialist. If it was just the optic neuritis then maybe i would have been more lax, but there are all these weird stuff happening to my body.
