Excellent in just over an hour! That's what a good camera can do, and the UV/IR cut filter works great too!

Thank you! Yes, this filter is actually quite good. But a lot still depends on the level of light pollution.

Yes, it doesn't suppress light pollution much; even the presence of the Moon is easily noticeable from the gradient in the raw files. I agree!
