Seyfert Galaxy NGC 7479

Here is the first decent deep space image I have gotten from my 11" Nexstar in a while. This just over an hour of 1 minute exposures as I wasn't able to find a good guide star with my OAG. I had about 200 images, but it got windy later in the night and I to delete a ton. I have been Chromatic aberration
issues with my scope, I adjusted my 2nd mirror placement and re collimated. It was better, but I still see some issues as my stars look like they have a curtain hanging down of one side. I probably need to send it in to Celestron, but it scares me to trust UPS or FedEx with something this big and fragile.

Anyway, I thought the Galaxy came in nicely for only 80 minutes of data with an almost full moon. NGC 7479 is a 11 magnitude with apparent diameter of 4.1. It is estimated to be around 105 million light year away. It is unique in the radio continuum with arms opening in an opposite direction to the optical arms.

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.
