Eye galaxy of 27th of April 2022 + integration with other image of 25th of April 2020

This image is the sum of 877 30 secs unguided frames, automatically selected among 1877. Telescope was a Newton 250 F 3.9, QHY268M camera, on top fo a Ioptron CEM60EC. That night was very windy. So, in order to do some frames, I reduced integration time to 30 secs and binned 2. Aquisition and stacking with Astroart. Processing with Astroart. However, due to short integration time and bad seeing, in order to improve the image I have summed that with a previous image taken during 2020 with same mount and scope and with a QHY183M mono camera. Registration and sum with Astroart.

Color image has been taken the same day (27th of April 2022) with a C5 + reducer F 6.3 + modded Nikon d5600. Registration with Astroart. Combination with PS.

The Eyes Galaxies (NGC 4435-NGC 4438, also known as Arp 120) are a pair of galaxies about 52 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. The pair are members of the string of galaxies known as Markarian's Chain. (Wikipedia)

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.
