Coma Berniceis is a small constellation in Leo containing a few well known messier objects. I took interest in the blackeye galaxy m64 on this particular night. It sits close to a brighter region of integrated flux nebula, IFN. It requires dark skies to pick up ifn and on this particular night I ran into some challenges but I was pretty happy to still come away with some data.

Atmospheric transparency on this night was variable and caused my stars to get pretty bad halos, unfortunately I could not remove these but I did not want to waste the data, I preserved what I could. The poor transparency makes it difficult to capture deep detail particularly when under sampling as I was with this setup. The sky did clear up at one point during the night and sqm ranged form 21.1-21.5 around 1am when skies cleared up briefly. I imaged this target until it dropped to the treeline.

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.
