The Venus Optics or Laowa 15mm is a nice wide angle lens for landscape photography. 15mm is roughly as low as one can go before getting fish-eye vision. For astro it is interesting owing to its f=2 focal ratio, but the image quality outside of APS-C quickly deteriorates (well, this is also really pushing the optics ...). One the other hand side, the Milky Way "cries" for wide angle, in particular when traveling in desert climates like Arizona or the Chilean Atacama. Traveling light, I only had a tripod, so the image is a stack of 78 exposures at 16 sec each.
Image processing was quite challenge. BXT2.0 impresses with cleaning out the stellar distortions in the outskirts (though it cannot do magic) making the usable range much larger. plate solving is of considerable effort, even the new PI image solver does not like it at al - at the end I was manually aligning against Gaia DR3 (Gaia is magic!).

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.
