In the process of going back to data sets, I decided to combine two sets on one of my favorite galaxies. While M106 is cool on its own, there are just too many galaxies in the background to ignore. Solution! Use widefield data to capture all of those, then use the RCOS to capture details in the galaxy then combine the two. Another huge project with an equally large integration.

A total pain to get it all right together, but I am quite pleased with how it came out. The resolution in M106 is fantastic, but surprisingly not much over the RH-305. Sometimes, the atmosphere really is the biggest enemy to AP. There is more increased res at full scale, but sadly the impact is reduced when shrinking the galaxy to fit the RH-305 size.

Clear skies, and stay healthy.

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.
