Wide-angle DSLR image of the North America and Pelican Nebulae (Canon EOS 6D and Samyang 135mm f/2)

I took this wide-angle shot of the night sky using a stock DSLR camera Canon EOS 6D Mk1, a Samyang 135mm lens, and a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer star tracker. The brightest star in the image is the blue-white supergiant Deneb, located in the constellation of Cygnus and ranked as the 19th brightest star in the sky. In the center of the image, we can see the North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula. The size of the field of view is approximately 15x10 degrees. The total integration time was 20 minutes. The image was taken without filters under a Bortle 4 sky.

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.
