Arp236. VV114. Merging Hubble & Webb to see merging galaxies.

Processing Webb:
Banding removal using linear pattern subtraction methodology of each filters. Registration of f1500w, f3560w and f4440w on f2000w. Mure Denoise. SuperStack Robust Chauvenet. Masked Stretch. HDR.

Processing Hubble:
Cosmic particules correction for Hubble’s filters. Registration of f555w on f814w and f435w. Mure Denoise each Hubble filters. RGB Hubble as f814w, f555w, f435w. Color Calibration. Deconvolution. Masked stretch. ACDNR. Local Hits. HDR. Masked stretch. DeepPrior 9000 iterations for noise removal.

Data Fusion:
NBRGB combination with Hubble as RGB and Webb's superstack as Ha.

From esa website : IC 1623 is an interacting galaxy system that is very bright when observed in the infrared. One of the two galaxies, the infrared-bright, but optically obscured galaxy VV 114, has a substantial amount of warm and dense gas.

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.
