Milky Way to Horizon wide field

[sdbodin]

This is it, the bottom of my view from 46.7 north latitude. Well, almost, the Umtanum Ridge cuts off the last 3 degrees of sky. Lucky to get a reasonable sky transparency last night, not too much summer haze, just a few clicks below the best possible. The teapot is to the east and Antares is laying down to the west with M8 left of center and M6 and M7 hugging the horizon.

Shot with 28mm f2.8 at f4 thru ASI1600MC-cool, gain 200, offset 50, temp -17C, 10/2min with UV/IR filter. No guiding, riding on the bigdog 16, captured and stacked in Nebulosity. Posted image full frame 25% full size.

Clear skies,
Steve

I would like to thank those that liked the image.

A question, does that big black nebula in the middle look something like a standing horse?? If so, then it is the biggest of the horses up there, maybe 10 degrees across. These wide fields are all about seeing the big dark stuff and how it is all connected, sort of like looking for cloud animals in the day. Easily the largest structures I have seen in the night sky.

Thanks,
Steve

All the best,

Yeah, I also picked it out immediately once mentioned. But initially, I was just going to say: 'Nice Pipe you got there."

So, "Nice Dark Horse you got there."
