M5 (NGC 5904) Globular Cluster

M5 is my first globular with the SVX152T. This is a single night, weather has been uncooperative so am departing from my usual of over-collecting data and trying to do what I can with one night's data.

This has 34 x 240s of Blue, 36 x 240s of Green, and 36 x 240s of Red, for a total of about 7 hours. A synthetic luminance was formed from the mean of the linear fit red, green, blue.

M5 is about 24,000 light years away in Serpens, and just at or below the brightness where the human eye can see it in dark skies.

I welcome criticism or suggestions.

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.
