The True Tails of NGC 5907 ?

NGC 5907 became an instant celebrity following the publication of this APOD image from 2008...

NGC 5907 APOD with Tidal Streams

Since then, several folks with very fancy systems have tried to duplicate this result with no success. One notable attempt used the Dragonfly Telephoto Array...

Revisiting NGC 5907 in 2019

I had two nights left in this dark cycle to try on a CDK24. Here's my results with 29 x 1800s L subs during 2 nights of 21.5 SQM. Processing for this B&W inverted image is just a simple invert followed by a strong stretch and nothing more to help minimize processing artifacts...

14.5 hours of NGC 5907 using a CDK24 in a 21.5 SQM sky.

A light panel was used for very careful flat calibration.

The color image shown here was created from the above luminance data with color I captured on the same setup during July 12, 13 2018.

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.
