NGC 3614 (Discovery image for Tidal Streams)

This is likely one of the deepest images of NGC 3614 around since it is my discovery image of the attendant tidal streams. There is still a paper in the works for this galaxy (either on its own, or to be included with others as part of Dr. David Delgado Martinez's research in galactic stellar streams). I am a member of Dr. Martinez's team- and struck out on my own to find my own galaxy that at the time had undiscovered tidal streams.

You can read about the discovery with links to Dr. Martinez's work and other papers here:

I also did something interesting with this data. I made it available to customers of AdamBlockStudios to work with and follow along with my processing.
The goal here is , of course, to show the tidal streams in some reasonable way- they are very very faint.

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.
