NGC 1365 Great Barred Spiral Galaxy

This image is from my first set of sessions with iTelescope.net.
It was taken with a 17" and a 20" Planewave CDK telescope at the iTelescope Siding Spring observatory in Australia. These particular telescopes are numbers T32 (the 17") and numbers T30 (the 20") - you can find all the specs on them at this website: http://itelescope.net.

It blows me away what is available online to do astrophotography via the internet!
I can plan an observation session at any iTelescope observatory around the world from the comfort of my home and just download and process the images the next day. This is a great supplement to my imaging sessions with my 8" Celestron in mostly overcast Ontario, Canada. On top of using top-notch telescopes, iTelescope provides their members with free datasets every 14 days taken with a 20" Planewave CDK, so you always have some excellent images to process. Check them out if you have not heard of them yet...

This image is now 144 minutes of LRGB data. Imaging time is expensive on these telescopes so that will be everything I do on this target this year. I could image it until March, but there are so many other beautiful objects out there...

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.
