M63 Sunflower Galaxy

A huge thanks to Chris Sullivan for doing some final layers processing with two of my processed iterations to get this background where I wanted it!

This was the most difficult processing I've done - not sure why exactly but it was very difficult! I'm still not completely satisfied with it, I may give another go another time or add more data but I'm getting sick of it so calling it done for now.

It consists of two data sets:

165x120" + 31x180" (7 hours) - Edge 9.25 at f/7 and QHY367C

132x60" (2.2 hours) - Edge 9.25 at f/2.2 with Hyperstar and QHY183M

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.
