Finally got a decent shot of the Orion Nebula after months of blurry mess

Back in October, my photos were just fuzzy grey blobs because I was trying to do 30-second exposures without any tracking. Last week, I borrowed a friend's old star tracker and spent a whole night in my backyard getting it aligned. The difference is crazy, I can actually see the pinkish gas clouds now. Anyone have tips for dealing with light pollution from the city glow?

Try a light pollution filter, like the Optolong L-Pro.

Guess the blurry blob phase is finally over, huh?
