M85 - NGC4394

Finally able to complete an image after multiple weeks. Weather is typically very cloud here during this time of the year and I was not able to complete any of my targets.
I did manage to get some data on M85/NGC4394. I have always liked this field and surprisingly there are not many images . The NGC 4394 with its classic barred spiral presentation and shells of M85 look spectacular.
I attempted 15 min subs on this to see if I can get more depth. There is quite a bit of extended signal,. but I couldnt pull it out without the image falling apart. Color data is quite weak (I shot it while last night with the moon in play). I think the darks are not matching well and it is resulting calibration artifacts. I Will retry calibration once I shoot new darks.

L - 60x15 mins
R/G/B - 15x10 min subs / channel

Version D: Reprocess with the correct calibration frames

C&C welcome

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.
