As far as travel, we are so close to this beach, we just stop by from time to time. It is 10 min or less from our house. There is light pollution from a light on a pole for the boat ramp, but not many other light around.
ISO-6400
f/4
Exp time 5 sec
I had to just randomly get out of the car and take a shot and look for the colors.

Did you try Topaz for getting rid of noise from the use of such a high ISO?
Doea thr sky look anything like that to the eye, for example: “just much less intense”?

We could only see a little green glow but really wasn't sure until I took pictures.
I don't have Topaz, but I could try Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4. I'm still learning that but it has options for noise.

I'm working on the pictures but not having a lot of luck with noise reduction

I have all the Topaz AI plugins that Robert Watcher introduced to us so well with his fabulous examples of refocusing and noise reduction at 6000 ISO.
I could have a try down the road when I have practiced some of those tachnics!
