NGC 3718 - Arp 214 and NGC 3729

One more try on a galaxy, this one turned out to be nice. Thanks to Gary and is never ending assortment of examples to pick from😊. I could have stretched the image a bit more to reveal the dust lanes a bit more, but decided against it, the background should have at least a bit more darkness in it.

Also interesting in this image are the few galaxies(?) above (11 o'clock) NGC 3718, at least it looks like a galaxy covered by a couple of stars and the side on galaxy right beside it. Cartes Du Ciel does not list those.

Description: Volker Gutsmann and I exchanged some original data to see if there are huge differences between them. Indeed there were, Volker had more integration time with higher focal ratio, hence his images were much cleaner than mine. We also exchanged some knowledge via Teams about processing, very productive and wonderful to see this corporation, thanks Volker, we will continue! Here a side by side comparison of the 2 datasets, there was some different processing involved as well, personally I thought that Volker's data were much nicer to handle 😊!

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.
