From M16 to M8

Hi,

An other picture from my journey in Les Cévennes.

This was my main project, a 5 tiles mosaic from M16 to M8.

A7S modified, TS Star 71 mounted on the Lightrack.

For each tile, 210-230 x 30 sec subs at 3200 ISO. Taken in several nights.

Preprocessing with Astro Pixel Processor.

Processing with Pixinsight.

Final picture at 75%.

I have to admit, shooting from a dark place change everything.

So I'm very satisfied with this result, and I really have to try to shoot from dark places more often.

Version B : very slight adjustment of the white balance ; it's subtle, but I think it's fine now. Let me know if you think it is, or not ;-)

Cheers.

David.

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.
