NGC 4753 in LRGB collaboration

Thank you Mike Selby for the amazing data!

This is a special galaxy for me, not just because it is unusual, but also the incredible number and variety of the background galaxies!
NGC4753 is an unusual lenticular galaxy 60 million light years away in the constellation Virgo, the galaxy is smooth and nearly elliptical, the irregular dust lanes are not common. There is a theory that the dust filaments are the shredded remains of a small spiral galaxy.

The dust lanes were brought out in the Lum with HDR. The Lum was treated with BXT with the PSF measured and I used BXT preview to fine tune the stars and the details on the dust lanes. I found that CUDA was essential to get a decent preview working.
The Lum was stretched separately to bring out both the background and the elliptical galaxy and blended to get the final Lum.
SPCC was used to color calibrate the image.

Imaged in LRGB on the CDK 1000 at Observatorio El Sauce, Obstech, Chile

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.
