Milky Way Images - Glacier National Park

The next stop was in Glacier National Park. This provided another opportunity to image the Milky Way. As before, I used the standard Canon 18-55mm lens set at 18mm but also took a total of eleven 30 second exposures and stacked them in DSS. However, the image color was way of whack - I tried playing around with it but just could not get it look as pleasing as the single exposure. Oh Well!

While I was imaging these I was scanning the heart of the galaxy with my 10 x 50 binoculars and was amazed at the clusters and nebulae that we usually just image. As shown on the annotated version, lots of objects are visible in this image. Although the color is not there when looking at them live with the binoculars, they incredibly stunning and glisten in the sea of stars.

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.
