Gazing into the unknown

The second photo from the amazing Bank Holiday trip to Portland Bill

I always wanted a selfie with the Milky-Way in the background, and this was my chance of taking one that I would remember for years to come. I set my camera on the edge of a cliff, as close as possible to the location where I was gonna be posing. I wasn't sure my wireless remote sutter was gonna work that far from the camera but I had to give it a go. To my surprise, it did work and when I returned to the camera, the photo was exactly what I was trying to achieve.

For the Milky-Way photos, the sky was excelent. So far, I have never seen southern hemisphere nebulas in any Milky-Way photos shot from the UK but with the sky being so clean and clear, I managed to capture the Cat's Paw and Lobster nebulae, just one degree above the horizon, seen in the photo as the 2 red patches at the bottom of the Milky-Way.

The same as my previous photo, I used my Astro-modified Canon 6d, with the Sigma Art 24-35mm f2 lens at 24mm f2.8 and the Optolong L-Pro clip-in filter for Canon full frame on the iOptron Sky-Guider Pro.

The foreground is a single 30sec ISO1600 @24mm f2.8 and the sky is a stack of 10x120sec shot with the same settings.

The stacking was done in sequator and the editing, in Lightroom Classic, Pixinsight and Photoshop with the blending and final touches in Photoshop.

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.
