Abell 194 RGB: A Mini Markarian's Chain

There are not many examples of this on Astrobin and I think it is really for a dark site, but I thought I would push the processing with my new tools (toys).

Some info:

This rich group includes 10 galaxies from the New General Catalog (NGC) that are identified in the roll-over image, along with several dozen more galaxies that are visible in this field. Despite its impressive distance of about 250 million light years, several of the cluster's brightest galaxies can be seen in amateur telescopes.

There is also the unusual feature known as Minkowski's object, which appears as a small blue patch on the edge of the galaxy NGC 541. This galaxy is a strong emitter of radio waves, and images in other wavelengths show a large jet stretching from the galaxy's center to Minkowski's object. Astronomers have found that Minkowski's object is a region of intense star formation. An abundance of hot blue-white stars gives the object its distinctive color.

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.
