Great Barred Spiral Galaxy

Revision title: Revision

Boy this target has been extremely frustrating. First it does not get very high in the northern hemisphere, about 21 degrees at my location and is only high enough to image for an hour or two. I captured 1 hour of images in the end of November, but due to cloud cover I only got one more shot on this target on December 15th. I was hoping to get some good detail with my 11" Nexstar, unfortunately, my ZWO 2600MC developed that infamous oil leak that streaked across my sensor and basically ruined.

NGC 1365 is also know as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy located 60 million light years away in the Fornax constellation. This galaxy is 200,000 light years across (around twice the diameter of our own Milky Way Galaxy) with a supermassive black hole at the core. Also, if you look at the plate solve, tons of other galaxies in this image.

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.
