Wide field Milky Way with nebulosity

This is another experiment with wide field single shot color acquisitions using Samyang 135mm lens and the portable equatorial mount. Despite some struggles with tracking stability I was able to accumulate over 4 hours of 2 minute exposures using Canon 450d at ISO800.

This area of Cepheus/Cassiopeia is remarkable with multiple H-alpha regions. While the scale of the image does not allow to see much detail, it gives a good idea about relative position of these famous objects and reveals some interesting less known ones. In addition to H-alpha emission clouds there are multiple dust and emission nebulae, as well as star clusters. I really like the little orange NGC7419.

As an option, I included a version with 30% star reduction via Starnet++.

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.
