Campo astronomico organizzato dal G.A.C. (Gruppo Astrofili Catanesi) 22-25/08/2014 presso il Rifugio Margio Salice -monti Nebrodi- Maletto (CT) Sicily-Italy 1250m slm.

I miei due precedenti tentativi di acquisire la Veil Nebula (nebulosa Velo) sono andati male a causa di un leggerissimo fuori fuoco provocato dallo spostamento dell'obiettivo in posizione verticale.

Scoperta la causa, in questa occasione sono stato molto attento alla messa a fuoco.

L'integrazione totale non è quella che avrei voluto io ma dalle 00:30 alle 03:30 di quella notte il cielo si è coperto di nuvole.

Unico vero problema elaborativo di questa immagine sono state le stelle: un fitto e pressochè uniforme strato di stelle vicinissime il cui diametro è stato difficilissimo da "domare".

Purtroppo la temperatura sensibilmente alta del sensore (t°=27°) e l'integrazione che conseguentemente doveva essere maggiore non mi hanno permesso di osare oltre nell'elaborazione.

Comunque, pensando anche ai tentativi falliti, mi ritengo soddisfatto del risultato ottenuto e del FOV che ritrae la Veil nebula insieme all'ammasso aperto NGC6940.

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.
