October Milky Way, Bailey's Harbor, WI

Enjoyed a nice stay up at Gordon Lodge in Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin, which is just about 5 minutes away from Wisconsin's International Dark Sky Site in Newport Beach State Park. In Door County, you are surrounded by Lake Michigan on both the East and West, so the amount of light pollution is reduced by a large amount. Additionally, this is on the Eastern side of Door County, which is the less popular wilderness side.

Overall it was a great trip, and I'd stay there again after Rowley's Bay Lodge, where we originally booked, set on fire! Luckily we found a nearby alternative and enjoyed the views.

This shot was taken on a Vixen Polarie Star Tracker with a Nikon d3300 camera, with 30 second shots controlled via a simple intervelometer, no computer involved! Also notable, is this is a camera with no modification, and is the stock sensor, so a little time went in to reducing the amount of green coming out of the sensor so it was balanced via statistics in PixInsight.

Cropped out in the corner is the Andromeda Galaxy, since it was actually distracting due to being in the upper right corner, but it is interesting to see for scale in version B, which I'll also post.

Title: Milky Way with Andromeda

Description: Adding Andromeda just for perspective, but it is a bit distracting, so cutting out in the final version.

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.
