First off, apologies to all the guys I follow on here and who regularly comment and like my images and to who I do likewise, its been too long, but hopefully I'm back in the groove now.

This image was taken last week whilst I was at the Kielder Forest October Star Camp in Northumberland. Internationally recognised dark sky site in a Bortle 3 zone and home to the darkest skies in the whole of England.

An absolute first for me capturing this image and was a complete experiment shooting a single 10 minute exposure using my DSLR and Sigma ultra wide angle 10mm - 20mm lens set at 14mm f 7.1.piggy back mounted onto my rig whilst using PHD2 for tracking.

Absolutely over the moon with result and seriously blown away with the crazy amount of HA my camera picked up. As an added bonus, its even picked up the Eastern Veil Nebula as well!!

A serious challenge to process due to the absolutely insane amount of foreground and background stars my camera picked up.

Kielder Forest is the most amazing dark sky site I've ever had the privilege to view and image in. A truly amazing place and one Ill be returning to in the very near future.

Thank You Kielder xx

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.
