The Sombrero Galaxy

Revision title: Cropped and reprocessed

This galaxy is something that I wanted to shoot when I started into AP. I mean, at that time (July 2020) I only had a refractor and was learning how to use Stellarium and stumbled upon this when scrolling and realized it was cool. It was later on I realized I could not shoot given its location and the gear I had.

Even now, I saw it was pretty low at this time (27 - 35) for a few hours early morning. I setup the sequence and the first night, got only a few subs. Platesolve failed with ASTAP and guiding was horrible. Switched over to PlateSolve2 and the next session went fine. I was planning to wait for the next moon phase to add more L, but managed to sneak in a few hours the past few nights and decided to process the stack.

I hope you like this result. Clear skies!

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.
