50mm Panorama - Milky Way in Africa

Link: https://www.instagram.com/eg_astrophotography/

The dark skies of Africa / As many of us live in the big cities we can‘t even see the stars and the Milky Way from our neighborhoods as the light pollution obstructs the visibility. Africa and especially Namibia is one of the low densely populated areas on Earth were the effect of light pollution is minimized. You don’t have to climb high in the mountains over the clouds chasing the Milky Way. Even on the flat African surface you can see billions of stars during the clear night. And this what you see is incredible!

Settings: Nikon D750a, Sigma Art 50mm/ F 1.4, exp. 30sec at f2.8, ISO 6400. Sky tracked at iOptron SkyGuider Pro, Foreground untracked. Pano from multiple shots taken with a use of Genie Mini motion control device. Stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker and blended in Adobe PS. Post processing: Adobe PS / LR, Pixinsight

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.
