Sometimes you can remove a few frames from a time-lapse and correct some light pollution issues.

In order to create a Milky Way time-lapse you need to take hundreds to thousands of photos. You need to take photos with a long exposure ranging from 10-30 seconds for each shot. You might spend hours trying to get all the photos you need for a brief time-lapse video only to have a car drive by or have a helicopter or airplane fly through some of the shots. This was one such case where a car drove through some of the shots. It ended up creating a neat image, but made the time-lapse kind of worthless. Its really my fault for trying on a road even though it was very late at night.

This mountain in the Gates pass area of Tucson is very close to the city and you can see the impact of that on the left side of the photo. Tucson is the headquarters of the International Dark-Sky Association and has quite a bit of information about how we can all limit light pollution.
