NGC 5033 Waterbug Galaxy

This quite big and bright spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici is called Waterburg Galaxy, why - no clue, couldn't find. It was discovered by Herschel in 18th century.
It is 100 000 LY in diameter and it is 40 million LY away from us.

I took about 15 hours of this objkect but my gear was not willing to cooperate and I had to scrap quite a lot due to mount issues. So I ended up with just about 9 hours, which is in my case from Bortle 5 (+) at the suburbs of big town quite a challenge for an OSC. I used Optolong L-Pro to tame LP but this requires than even more material to be collected. Aprat from that tourbles, I suppose this is quite OK result. I shot it in Bin1 - 0.31 scale and finally resized after processing to bin2.

Any comments are welcome as usually.

EDIT: WATER BUG !!
Haha, I was rteally blind yesterday. Sorry

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.
