NGC3628 - Hamburger Galaxy

This is first light on my Celestron HD11 with .7 reducer. I have a long way to go figuring out the intricacies of this rig. I am amazed at how minuscule of a breeze it takes to dramatically affect the guiding accuracy (OAG). I was fortunate enough to have one still night but that night there was some high thin cirrus to deal with. The other nights I was forced to throw away about half of my subs do to high FWHM. My goal here though was just to gain some experience with the new rig. Also this is only my fourth mono project so still on the learning curve there as well. Taking all this into account plus my Bortle 7-8 South Florida sky which robs the faint details, I am pretty happy with the result given the challenges.

The hamburger galaxy is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 35 million light years away in the Constellation Leo. Along with M65 and M66, NGC 3628 forms the Leo Triplet, a small group of galaxies. (Wikipedia)

From our vantage point on Earth, we are looking at the galaxy edge on with the dust lanes dissecting the galaxy core.

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.
