NGC 2835 Eye of the Serpent

NGC 2835 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy, located 35 millions light-year away in the constellation Hydra, with a width of just over half that of the Milky Way (65000 light-years).
Its apparent size is only 6' x 4' and it is not often imaged despite its beauty. The background in its region is also amazing with a lot of galaxies and far galaxy clusters.

The twisting patterns created by the multiple spiral arms of NGC 2835 create the illusion of an eye, which is a fitting description as this magnificent galaxy resides near the head of the water snake. NGC 2835 is seen nearly face-on and it features four or five spiral arms and have numerous HII regions and stellar associations. Although the galaxy is quite symmetric, the northern arms have HII regions that appear brighter than the southern ones which appear less developed in their outer parts than the north ones. (North is right in this image cause i thought it was more beautiful like that).

I grabbed the dataset on Telescope Live remote data hosting website and processed it as i can't reach it from my Northern home.
Now that weather is more clement the last few weeks i will take a rest with remote data processing and come back soon to my own Northern hemisphere backyard datas :-)

Clear skies to all!

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.
