Voie Lactée et aurores boréales au moulin Lebriez

En toute fin de cette nuit mémorable du 10 au 11 Mai 2024, l’activité aurorale a eu un moment d’accalmie, l’occasion pour moi de tenter de capturer la Voie Lactée au côté des aurores boréales depuis ici, en France, dans le Pas-de-Calais. C’est une chose que j’avais réussi à faire l’hiver 2023 en Islande et c'était pas un exercice facile ! En effet, les lueurs rouges/vertes des aurores viennent masquer une bonne partie de ce qu'on appelle “le ciel profond” (les nébuleuses, la Voie Lactée, les galaxies, etc…).

Malgré cette “accalmie” aurorale durant quelques minutes, les lueurs étaient encore visibles au-dessus de la tête au zénith. On peut pas vraiment appeler ça une accalmie quand les données indiquent toujours des valeurs hors normes et qu'on voit des piliers bleus apparaître sur l'écran de l’appareil

. C'est comme cela que la Voie Lactée a pointée le bout de son nez au dessus des aurores sur la droite de l'image avec 2 nébuleuses iconiques de notre ciel d’été : l’Amérique du Nord et le Papillon (en rouge dans la Voie Lactée).

EXIF :
-@canonfrance EOS 6Da
-@samyangfrance XP 14mm f/2.4
-Pano de 6 photos : 4s ISO6400 f/2.4

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.
