NGC 7497 behind Milky Way dust (MBM 54)

Link: http://astro.van-hees.name

The central galaxy in 60 million light years distance is sending its light through a foreground molecular cloud of our own Milky Way. Its spiral arms are coloured by the intervening dust and only a few background galaxies are visible. I found no research on NGC 7497, probably because the intervening dust makes a study very difficult. It does make a compelling target for "pretty picture" AP, though.

This is actually my third attempt at this target. The 16h of data from the first one with the RC8 and an ASI183MC contains some error in the calibration data that I can not track down (and I no longer own the camera to regenerate the darks and bias). The RASA data just isn't well enough resolved to add anything substantial.

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.
