ARP 273 Wide Angle View

Found this target interesting as not many have imaged it. This is 2 distant galaxies UGC 1810 and 1813 that are around 360 million light years away that are being warped by each others gravitational pull. This is a small target as shown by my wide angle view, which is cool as the Pixinsight plate solve identified over 45 other PGC galaxies.

In responding to Dale, it reminded me to mention that this object isn't even on the ASIAir Catalog. I tried linking my ASIAir with Sky Safari app on my phone, but couldn't figure it out. There is not a place that I have found in the ASIAir to enter coordinates. However, I finally discovered you can create a new Target in the ASIAir catalog and put in the coordinates, which is what I did. If anyone else knows a better way to use coordinates in the ASIAir, please let me know.

It was a fairly windy night so my big 190mm Mak/Newt was getting blown around a bit. I managed to get almost 2.5 hours of data, but I had to toss over a 1/3 of my data.

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.
