Revision title: NGC 4565 - Needle Galaxy (no crop)

I encountered a lot of small problems, caused by lack of practice over the last 6-7 months. It took me a little time to find certain reflexes, and start to know my new equipment.

It was a test outing: under a Bortle 5 sky, during the week (and therefore with relatively little time to image, less than an hour), I did not hope to make the Top Pick of the day ;)

This is also the first LRGB processing that I have done in PixInsight. I'm not satisfied with the stars: my process needs to be improved to generate and process the stars image (I will definitely do a v2 in the coming days).

Description: Inadvertently, v1 of this image was cropped to 50%, instead of being resized.

I no longer had the uncropped file, so I carried out a new process, almost identical to the first.

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.
