5-7-2019 NGC5906/NGC5907, Splinter Galaxy.

This is a beautiful edge-on galaxy, very flat with nearly no center bulge. It lies in the constellation Draco, it is circumpolar and is about 50 million light years away. The galaxy is made up of mostly of white dwarf stars — small, dense stars nearing the end of their lives. They eventually lose all their heat and ability to fuse elements, and get cold and dark.

It was a problematic evening. Got polar aligned at 0h and started 0.30h with a clear-sky. Just after this clouds ran into the field of view constantly. So at 2h I called it the night and closed my session. I started with 200s subs, after the first (cloud) interruption I restarted with 300s subs. This morning I did a multi-session processing in APP and finalized in PD.

Celestron C11 HD edge with the OPTEC Lepus 0.7X reducer. Captured with Sharpcap [5*200s subs, 7 * 300s subs, darks extracted] and processed with APP and PS.

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.
