NGC 3628 - double stacked

Revision title: Combined data (synthetic L) RGB from my 183C OSC

I don’t know how you like your burgers 🍔 single or double stacked?

Another image combining over 5 hours data from different cameras and focal lengths. Luminance from my DSI III Pro mono at f3 using my SCT last year, and RGB data from my Altair 183C at f10 this year.

The quality of the data varies and I think there is room to improve this by limiting to the best subs - it is easy to get carried away with the relish!

UPDATE: The mouseover shows data captured at f3 using my Altair 183 OSC (revision C)

Title: A wider field using f3 data

Description: Using data taken at f3 from my mono CCD camera last year and OSC this year. L=24x120s_48m + 11x300s_55m (1x1) and RGB= 28x120s_56m (2x2)
I have stretched this much less aggressively and improved the colour balance.

Title: Combined data (synthetic L) RGB from my 183C OSC

Description: Processing data taken at f3 and f10 using my Altair Astro 183C CMOS OSC comprising RGB=f3_26x120s_56m plus f10_31x180s_93m and 18x300s_90m. Total integration = just under 4 hours. Processed as (L)RGB using Startools. I think this less stretched image has better definition and colour balance.

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.
