The Summer Triangle

This image of the region around the 'Summer Triangle', consisting of the bright stars Vega/Deneb/Altair, was taken during a camping trip to Assateague Island on the shores of the Atlantic in Maryland. The Milky Way passes through this amazingly rich region of the sky which includes the constellation Cygnus within which lies the 'Northern Cross' asterism around Deneb. The North America nebula, NGC7000, and Gamma Cygni nebula, IC1318, can be seen near the top of the northern cross close to the starts Deneb and Sadr respectively.

Imaged using a Nikon D5300 (full spectrum modified), IDAS HEUIB-II (H-α Enhanced UV IR Blocking) filter, and 14 mm Rokinon lens at F2.8. Exposures were 20 seconds at ISO-3200.

Processed in PixInsight. Pre-processed 23 subs using Batch Pre-Processing (BPP) script. Images calibrated using darks, flats, and flat darks. Registered and stacked using StarAlighment and Integration processes. Post-processing included: Cropped, gradient removal with ABE, photometric color calibration, masked stretch, curves transformation, tgvdenoise, and morphological transformation adjustements.

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.
