NGC 3621 in LRGBHa

NGC 3621 is a spiral galaxy situated around 22 million light years away in the constellation of Hydra.
The galaxy is a pure disc type of galaxy and has not interacted with other galaxies, it is flat without a bulge in the center.
The galaxy is large in the field of view and presents numerous star forming regions and a bright central region. The galaxy is unusual as it appears to have a system of three black holes. One of the black holes is massive and is located at the center forming an active galactic nucleus despite the lack of a central bulge, the other two black holes are smaller and near the nucleus.

The background galaxies are plentiful and breathtaking, I tried to keep the details on those as well as the outer arms and core of this galaxy. The outer bands were hard to bring out and the core was super bright, multiple blends did balance it out.

Imaged in LRGB and H alpha on the Planewave CDK 700 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.

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.
