M88, M91 and NGC 4571 in LRGB

Back to the deep sky targets after the wonderful total eclipse 😊.

This is the first of several of Messier objects to empty out my bucket list 😊. This is a highly cropped image since for some reason I had a double entry in my plate solve list, and they did not align 100%. I kept going with the 2 minutes for RGB filters and 5 minutes of Lum, which I believe was the reason that the image shows some dust lanes which I was never able to capture before. It is though really hard to say if those are real, might be an artifact of light pollution (although, it would be a very weird one).

M91 is a new member, while M88 is an updated version, the previous image of M88 was taken in 2018 and was just Lum, and also pretty poor, hence I am glad that I could show a better image.

A bunch of other galaxies are visible in this area as well, love those little IC ones!

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.
