Magnificent Pinwheel (Edoardo Luca Radice (Astroedo))

Magnificent Pinwheel

Here the latest result o the collaboration between me and Luigi Fontana :

[h2]H alpha enhanced M101[/h2]

The RGB signal was caught by Luigi with his ODK 12" and an unmodified Canon 6D

Since the unmodified Canon is nearly blind to hydrogen like I've added the H alpha signal, caught with a Williams Optics FLT 110 with my SBIG ST2000XM and a Baader H alpha filter.

The composition was performed according to my latest tutorial

Version B Is the Annotated version with the PGC Galaxies

Version C Is the screenshot of the PixInsight Workspace at the end of processing with the full set of Icons used for procesing.

Ecco l'ultimissimo risultato della collaborazione con Luigi Fontana.

[h2]M101 integrata da H alfa[/h2]

Il segnale RGB è stato acquisito da Luigi con una Canon 6D sul suo ODK da 12".

Dal momento che la Canon è praticamente cieca alle frequenze dell'Idrogeno, ho integrato l'immagine col segnale H alfa acquisito con la camera SBIG ST2000XM sul mio Williams Optics FLT 110 con un filtro H alfa Baader.

La composizione è stata eseguita seguendo il mio ultimo tutorial

Versione B: Versione annotata con le galassie PGC

Versione C: Uno screehshot del workspace di PixInsight con tutte le icone di processo utilizzate.

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.
