Night time Camera view adjustment suggestions?

[WEdward2]

Good evening, I'm a new User so pardon the question.
I'm trying to optimize my night time images. Day time I'm getting a good color image. But my night time images look more like they were taken during the day. Anyone have any suggestions?

@WEdward2,
Welcome to Allsky! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

How do you want the nighttime image to look? I assume you have a lot of light pollution since the image you attached is only 10 seconds, which is short for a nighttime image.

See the Settings -> Allsky Documentation page in the WebUI for a description of the settings. The Mean Target setting determines how bright to make an image.

Thank you sir!
Yes my Home skies are very light polluted, hoping to take the camera to my remote observatory in a few weeks. MUCH darker there. Just trying to get some last minute adjustments finished before relocating. Thanks for the information!

@WEdward2,
It's probably not worth trying to get your exposure worked out now. It will change a lot once you move the camera.
