NGC5216, 5218, 5205 and 20+ more galaxies

Here are NGC5216, 5218, 5205 and at least twenty more galaxies (when annotated in PI), from last night. I really like the violent interaction that appears to be going on between the first two. The data is from both my Esprit 150 with ASI071 (sitting on my Mesu) and my Meade 14" (ACF) on the EQ8 with my newly modded Sony A7s. The Meade data is helping out on the three NGC galaxies in the centre, and I will also post it separately.

This is my first galaxy image of the season and first time I got my head around using the Sony A7s (just Ha modded by JTW - not that Ha was needed for this image). It is a full frame big pixel (8.4 µm) mirror-less DSLR that is supposed to be the most light sensitive one ever made by Sony. My hope is that it will be a relatively good match for the 3.55 meters of focal length of the Meade SCT (although still oversampling at 0.49 "/ pixel). However, it seems like I will have to run it with an intervallometer (which is low-tech and fine with me) since I never got the Sony capture program on my laptop to do what I wanted it to do, which wasted a few hours of imaging time last night.

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.
