Deep-sky Astrophotography from my balcony
The Carina Nebula..
This photo was taken from my balcony in a heavily light-polluted area(Bortle 7-8) using a DSLR and a small telescope. It was my first time trying narrowband imaging and I was very surprised with the result!
I even made a short video to share the photographing and processing process:
