March 8, 2019 - Leo Triplet

This is part four of the Leo Triplet galaxy group showing all three galaxies which are NGC3628, M65 and M66, It gives you an idea on how those galaxies are grouped together and the orientation, it also shows the huge tail that NGC3628 got which is the aftermath of two galaxies being merged together, it is really spectacular.

This was captured with my Hyperstar fast optics F/2.2 setup back in March 2019 from Lake Hudson State Park, the sky over there is really dark which helped a lot to bring out all the faint details.

This was a stack of 40x60sec with ASI1600MC OSC camera and 75x30sec with ASI1600MM Mono camera, a total exposure of 78min, I added the Mono data to the OSC data can created a LRGB and mainly used PixInSight and Luminar 4 to process it and enhance the details within the galaxy, I hope you like it.

Equipment used

Celestron 9.25" with Hyperstar adapter at F/2.2

ZWO ASI1600MC and ZWO ASI1600MM Camera

Astronomik Lum filter

iOptron CEM60 mount

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.
