We are currently in the Galaxy season, so, let’s shot galaxies. Amongst all the possibilities, I decided to point my scope to M81 and M82, also known as Bode’s Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy. They are a pair of galaxies located in the constellation, Ursa Major. M81 is a spiral galaxy that lies approximately 11.8 million light-years away, while M82 is an irregular galaxy at roughly the same distance away from Earth.
However, many others are also beautiful so why them? Actually, this part of the Sky present a particular cloud of dust call IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula) that are really challenging to highlight. So I gave a try and I think I did it. Of course, once again, I would like to increase the integration time to have a better signal to noise ratio but the weather is against us (the astrophotographers). Nevertheless, we can see clearly the IFN. Beside, both galaxies are quite well resolved even for a small focal lens (450mm). Additionally, many other galaxies can be seen on the pic such as NGC 3077 on the right side.

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.
