Everything is fine, I'm just curious how the frame didn't get overexposed in the yellow light pollution zone at ISO 3200 for 60 seconds? In that amount of time, as I imagine it, the entire shot would be completely reddish-orange from light pollution and noise.

My colleagues also laughed at such a long exposure. But the result turned out well) These are some of the first attempts at astrophotography with the new setup. Surprisingly, light pollution seems to have been miraculously avoided)
