Galaxies around the great barred spiral galaxy - 15/09/23

An additional target from September 2023, but weather(wind) or user error made a mess of a significant amount of images, in particular the second night was a complete bust.
Ended up with six small sets of images which I am happy with.

No flats attempted on this night, thus some donut shape from optics may be visible.
Originally this was going to be a two panel mosaic, but the image size and non-flat background proved too much of a challenge at this time. The gain value is also apparently at 100, instead of 0 to match the other half, which didn't help the mosaic.

Discovered the Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch part way through processing these six image sets, and started trialling it with this set.

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.
