This is what happens when you run a high-ISO wide angle astrophotography camera too close to a light polluted horizon.

I was trying to capture the faint aurora that was manifesting, but that green glow is not it. That is pure light pollution.

It is, however, an extremely funky image in its own right, so a bit of post to clean up the noise, and to bump the saturation even more, and here we are with it. Note that we still get Crux, and A and B Centaurus (the Pointers).
