Mission to C2PU observatory (3). NGC 891 - High resolution large deep field

Revision title: NGC 891 - Full frame recovered after flat correction

This is my third and last image from the 3 nights mission to the C2PU observatory with David Vernet and Serge Brunier. We tried to fix some reflection issues that we had noticed in our images.

I had the opportunity to image NGC 891 with the 1m deltagraph telescope. I particularly like this galaxy showing a lot of dust which can be detailed.

This image was taken with the QHY 600M. 120 x 60s of luminance only and 3 x 40 mn of RGB. Under a correct seeing (not very good) of 1,6 to 2". Might have been better with a seeing like for my NGC 7662, but I like it anyway.

It shows a lot of tiny galaxies in the field and reaches magnitude 24.

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.
