NGC1365 The Great Barred Spiral Galaxy in LRGB

NGC 1365, also known as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy, is a magnificent sight for astrophotographers seeking to capture the grandeur of a distant galaxy. Located in the constellation Fornax, this immense spiral galaxy boasts a double-barred structure, earning its name. The central bar, composed of older, reddish stars, stretches across the galaxy's core, while a shorter, inner bar visible in infrared wavelengths, likely due to complex gravitational interactions, adds a fascinating twist to its form. The grand spiral arms, adorned with bright blue star clusters and pinkish star-forming regions, gracefully wind around the central bars. The galaxy's bright centre is thought to be powered by a supermassive black hole, and its intense radiation makes it a captivating study for astrophotographers seeking to capture the energetic heart of this celestial giant.

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.
