Óðins Vagn or Large Bear & Five Messier Friends

Area of the pole or tongue of Óðins vagn (wagon) consisting of the stars Alkaid, Mizar/Alcor and Alioth in more common constellation name of Plough, Large Bear or Big Dipper. I learn vagn name from my 95 year old father who as a child learned Old Norse names for constellations with the 7 stars forming a wagon.

This is 27 x 180 seconds with Nex3N and 35mm Sony lens. I quite pleased with how this turn out, is easily longest time I ever spend on processing (note to self this should continue).

I choose this area as relatively dark to north from my garden and is not blocked by giant oak tree. When I view in binoculars I not really see much so was very surprised at number of stars in image and that Messier objects could be seen.

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.
