NGC7331 Stephan's Quintet HaLRGB

NGC7331 and the Quintet in HaLRGB using dual TEC 140s, Atik 460, Moravian 8300 and Mesu 200. Kit jointly owned with Tom O'Donoghue and Steve and Lis Milne. Captured with guest Dave Boddington. Luminance 32x15 mins. Colours 18x10 each. Ha 24x15 mins. The aim in this processing was to feature the galaxies and subdue the stars at the expense of the faint IFN which was present in the data. Radio data shows that the curved tidal tail which seems to emanate from the blue spiral in the Quintet actually comes from the interacting pair seen below it in this orientation. This resolves the controversy which arose from the blue galaxy's redshift placing it much closer than the other four. The Quintet was discovered at Marseille observatory about 150 km from my site in a telescope made by Foucault of pendulum fame.

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.
