Antares Region Widefield - Finished Image

That is, IMHO, one the best of all regions of the night sky: The galaxy centre and the Scorpius Constellation. Visible on Winter (here Down Under; Summer in the Northern Hemisphere), it shines overhead from southern latitutes, where this picture has been taken (22ºS). You can see M8 and M20, the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae; NGC 6334 and NGC 6357, the Cat's Pawn and Lobster Nebulae; the Blue Horsehead (IC 4592); Antares and Rho Ophiucus, with the "Dark River"; as well as several NGCs and many clusters. This image has my longest integration time, of 0.5h, which is still not much, compared to hours some images have. Taken from a Bortle Scale 3 or 4 Rural Sky; from MG, Brazil.

Camera: Unmodded T4i/650D at ISO 800

Lens: Canon 40mm STM f/2.8, stopped down to f/3.2

Exposure Detail: 15x120", or 15x2 minutes, total 30 minutes.

Esta é, em minha opinião, uma das melhores regiões do céu noturno: O centro da galáxia e a constelação de Escorpião. Visível no inverno (aqui no Hem. Sul; Verão no Hem. Norte), ela brilha próx. ao zênite de latitudes Sul, de onde essa foto foi tirada (22ºS). Você pode ver M8 e M20, as Nebulosas Lagoa e Trífida; NGC 6334 e NGC 6357, as nebulosas Pata de Gato e Lagosta; a Cabeça de Cavalo Azul (IC 4592); Antares e Rho Ophicus, com o “Rio Negro”; além de vários NGCs e aglomerados. Esta imagem possui o meu maior tempo de integração, de 0.5h, o que ainda não é muito, comparado a horas que algumas imagens possuem. Tirada de Céus Rurais, Bortle 3 ou 4; de MG, Brasil.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
