Milkyway panorama over Lake Neusiedl, Burgenland, Austria

The milkyway arching over bortle class 4 sky in Eastern Austria from Rho Opiuchi till Heart- and Soulnebula.
If you look carefully you may also spot M31 more to the left in the dust just above the horizon and even the Veil Nebulas high in the middle.
There is a Statue of Liberty for the Seefestspiele Mörbisch (a musical) to the right! The lights more to the left are from Neusiedl am See,
36 panel mosaic (3 rows) at 40mm focal lenght with a full frame cam. Sky tracked, stacked.
Foreground focus stacked.
Shot with an Optlong LPro filter.
This version is approximately 33% of the full resolution!
It is not easy to find a good spot for a nice composition for a multirow milkyway pano. I spend quite some time with scouting and studying photopills and other maps.
Although this is a bortle 4 sky and not super good for milkywaypics, I guess I could have done it cleverer to get more exposure time into the crucial parts. I will definitely plan that better next time. But going out and shooting those panos is different than doing deepsky imaging in the backyard. There is also an adventurous part, which I really like. If you have any further questions ... just ask!

Description: Somehow I am struggeling a little bit with this one. Normally I won`t do 2 revisions ;-)
Changed the colour temperarture a little to the cooler side, reduced the saturation, darkened the upper left corner and fixed some other minor issues. Hope this will be the final one now.

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.
