Hello Friends,

this time I went for a rarely imaged target; NGC 5746 / NGC 5740. There are only a few images.

This project started in March and ended in more than 10 nights. But due to many variances in the setup, I had severe trouble to integrate the data to a decent image. So decided to discard more than 15 hours of less perfect subs - but it was hurting terribly. Many hours for nothing. Also the flats did not work out.

But anyway, I have promised my friend @John Favalessa to release this image soon, since we accidentally always image the same (rare) targets

Please also have a look on his great version: https://www.astrobin.com/n58wbw/

Please also have a look on the many small galaxies in the background.

Please enjoy!
Rüdiger

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.
Dismissals 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.
