The night sky is always a Bortle 7 or more (Hazy) at my location in Vancouver. Photos were taken from my drive way, street and house lights are an issue. I live on the side of a hill with no straight shot to the northern horizon, the back of the lots altitude is 450 feet, the driveway altitude is about 250 ft (above sea level). You can see the Little Dipper or the Big Dipper in some of the photos they will give you and idea about how much of the Northern Horizon is blocked. Camera Sony & A IV, Lens Rokinon 14mm, f/2.8
