Autumn Milky Way

On the last clear evening, before this bad weather came, I went out to take a picture of the nearby lake system.

Earlier, I looked on the map to see if the Milky Way was going in the right direction and managed to find this place. I tried to use all my knowledge both during photography and processing.

I followed the sky with well-aligned mechanics and made a series that I could stack together.

I panned, and I managed to subtract the dark ones from the stacked images. It's true that this is an older set, because the Canon 6D is not a new camera frame, so with the newer ones you can take pictures of this quality in a shorter time and with less effort.

The only problem is the shifted reflection in the foreground, but it would have been even worse there, because nothing would have been visible unless I stacked it like that, so I had to adjust it separately for the sparkles. The first flicker frame was given as a reference, so perhaps the movement is not so bad.

First, the meeting of the landscape and the sky was photographed with tracking, then I photographed two more panels of the sky, and then the foreground as well, but with a wider aperture, because the wind was blowing a little, it doesn't matter if the leaves of the trees move a little, or the optics themselves are not perfect on that already in the compartment.

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.
