NGC925 from two sites

I got some great image data on this a couple weeks back near Moro, OR, and then added a bunch more data collected at Hancock Field Station. Great sky clarity and seeing both nights. NGC925 to me looks like a barred spiral that wants to grow more arms and become a normal spiral. Appears to also not be not quite face-on, bu at a slight angle. So many young blue star clusters in this galaxy and subtle criss-crossed dust lanes in the bright bar/core region.

Check out that little swirly blue spiral that snuck into the background at the lower right!

The Moro data was collected right after a thunderstorm cleaned the air out, so transparency was great as was seeing, which surprised me a bit. The night the images were collected at Hancock, the zodiacal band was clearly visible all night long from horizon to horizon, looking like a second dim Milky Way. In fact, it looked like the milky way from my backyard in town on the edge of Vancouver, WA. So the transparency and darkness were pretty fabulous on both nights. A really great end to the primary observing season in the Northwest before The Rains come.

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.
