My nebula photo got blown out by a sudden streetlamp
I drove out to a dark site to photograph the Lagoon Nebula last weekend. Right as I started a 3-minute exposure, a streetlamp flickered on nearby. The whole image is just a bright orange mess now. How do you guys check for potential light problems at new locations? Is there a good way to shield the lens from side light like that?

Three whole minutes into that exposure... of course the one streetlamp in the county decided that was its big moment. Streetlamp 1, Nebula 0.

Did you try to mask it out in editing, or was the glare just too blown out?
