M 102 - Spindle Galaxy and vicinities galaxies

Revision title: M 102 Spindle Galaxy

This time I worked on the project M 102 and its neighbours galaxies who are in the same area of the visual field of our OTA.
A stack was made both in Siril and in DSS and in the end a mixture of 50% of both final works was made for get a final result.

It is a galaxy that is showing us its delicate profile like the Needle but with much more blurred contours. I loved seeing this new galaxy and its small peculiarities and some distinction of colours on the sides and the strip that crosses it.

I made a collage that is in the Revision part, making a crop of the most noted galaxies in the area with their annotations.

It is a galaxy that surely provides much more detail with OTAs with wider focal length.

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.
