The Box - LRGB - finished

I finally finished this object having posted the luminance version the other day. I had fairly poor skies and a lot of wind blowing, so I decided to go for the 1 minute subs option, and it turned out ok. I actually ended up with 225 RGBs, and, as I wrote the other day for the previous posting, 92 three minute subs of luminance. The image posted here is a big crop on the original, and the revision image I have also included, is also a crop from the original as well, but not so much of a cut. The imaging time was thus 8 hours and 21 minutes, over two separate nights. I am pleased with this achievement as it was a battle to capture, and it took some thinking out, to get the detail in these very small galaxies. I have also never imaged these before. Thanks.

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.
