NGC 5566 in LRGB (collaboration)

Really love this unusual trio of galaxies and thank you Mike Selby for the data and collaboration processing this image!!

ARP 286 is a triplet in Virgo, including the NGC 5566, 5569 and 5560 and is a group of gravitationally interacting galaxies.
NGC 5566 is a barred spiral galaxy around 65 million light years away and is the biggest galaxy in Virgo, is situated close to the celestial equator, so it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.
Above and to its right is the small, blue spiral galaxy NGC 5569. At the bottom of the image is the distorted spiral NGC 5560, presumably distorted by the gravity of NGC 5569.
Imaged in LRGB on the PlaneWave CDK 1000 and CDK 700 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile

Image Data, Preprocessing and Luminance deconvolution: Mike Selby

My part of the processing done in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

SPCC was used to do color calibration and BXT custom settings for the Lum. The details were brought out iteratively with careful stretch and blend.

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.
