Nebulae of the Late Summer Milky Way (Paul Borchardt)

Nebulae of the Late Summer Milky Way

A Friend's collage gave me the idea to put something together that would wrap up much of my imaging from the second half of 2018, which is when I got my mount and scope. The Milky Way from Cygnus through Cassiopeia is probably my favorite part of the night sky. So full of emission nebulae I wasn’t able to image them all, like NGC 281 the Pacman Nebula, but did manage to get quite a few.

The center image was taken with my 14mm Rokinon and a modified Canon T3i while camping along the Mississippi River last September. All of the surrounding photos are narrow band images taken through either my Canon 200mm F2.8 stopped down to F4 or my Stellarvue SVQ100 F5.8 astrograph. A ZWO ASI1600MM Cool camera was used for all of these images.

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.
