UGC 8307 / NGC 5033 in HaLRGB

So here we are, smack dab in the middle of Galaxy season. I always shoot M51, but I also wanted to look for something different. So here we are with UGC 8307 / NGC 5033. I was basically just playing around in the NINA framing wizard and this one seemed to be a little stretch for the FOV at f/7 on the Edge 11, but I thought I would give it a shot anyway. It has such a great shape in it. In my B5 location, 3 mins is roughly the ideal exposure time, and it was pretty cool to see only faint whispers of any structure per sub and then to get to the final stack and have this beautiful galaxy come into view. Clear nights have been rough to come by, and even with that transparency and seeing just haven't been great. Blurx really helped pull the structure back together. I know there are factions of people for or against tools like this, but I am trying to make beautiful images (as long as it's my data). I would think it would be even better if my seeing was a bit better during the acquisition, but I thought why not? Let's give it a shot!

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.
