M110 and its dust clouds

Nobody gives M110 the respect it deserves. Its just that little galaxy next to M31.

Its actually a pretty interesting elliptical, in that it has prominent dust clouds around its core and subtler ones scattered across a good deal of its face. Seeing and transparency were quite good the evening I took this, and with the addition of an IDAS light pollution filter, I really got a clear nearly gradient free view of the sky this night back in July 2018.

My collimation was a little out of whack because of a loose spot in my mirror mount when I captured this image, so I had to resample it down 50% from bin 1x1 to an effective bin 2x2 to hide the effects. This is unfortunate, as seeing was such that the bin 1x1 image would have been great. Oh well. I have since permanently fixed the collimation drift, so hopefully won't get bitten by this again.

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.
