M106 Compilation: Edge11, ES102

Link: https://www.macobservatory.com

This was an attempted compilation of data from two telescopes, and two cameras. I combined all the data shot with my EdgeHD 11 and the ZWO ASI2600MC-Pro, ES102 FCD100 with the ZWO ASI2600MC-Pro, and a data set with the ES102 FCD100 and the ZWO ASI1600MM-C camera and Astrodon filters.

The results are a bit mixed. For some reason, when combined, the weakest color data was from the mono camera. You can see it in the larger stars and galaxies towards the bottom of the frame. I processed each data set in APP separately, removed all light pollution, and did a background and star calibration first. Then I registered the 3 data sets to each other, and combined them, running one more background and star calibration as the coloring was very yellow. Pulled into Pixinsight, and did my standard process, and you can see the galaxy core of M106 is quite yellow despite it coming out very nicely in my Edge 11 rendition. There was noticeably less noise where all three data sets mixed, but over all, I'm not too pleased with the results compared to the individual results I had previously.

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.
