This was an image that I've been working on now for about a month and finally got it finished. I had collected 37hr of date but in the end I cut out a little over 2hrs that I wasn't happy with. When I seen the Hubble images of this I just had to give it a try. I'm really pleased with this wide field version and plan to do a portrait version as well to see if I can pull more detail out of the galaxy.
All data was collected with my L-Pro and was processed in APP, then post processed in PI. This is the 1st image that I used the SPCC process for color calibration. I did a comparison between PCC and SPCC and in all honesty I didn't see a difference. That said I only used the default settings in SPCC so I'm sure there is room for improvement there.
As I was processing this image (particularly the wide field version) I was really surprised at how many faint fuzzy's are in there! check out the full resolution and you'll see what I mean.

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.
