Is that a single exposure? How did you prevent the foreground from blowing out on that, were you in a super dark location?
Unfortunately I'm in a Bortle 5 to 6 area so I'd need quite a bit of integration time to get a decent SnR. There aren't really any proper dark sites in western Europe.
Yeah that would do it. I'm in the western US and there are lots of Bortle 2 sites I can access in a weekend, and Bortle 1 sites I can access on a long weekend.
There's even a Bortle 3 site I can get to after work just 2 hours from San Jose (Pinnacles National Park) which is exactly where I took that seagull nebula picture.
