M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, unsurprisingly resides in the Triangulum constellation. Characterized as a spiral galaxy, M33 is the third largest galaxy in the Local Group. Lots of interesting structure is present, including massive amounts of HII star forming regions that present as magenta structures. Some of these structures are so prominent that they have landed their own NGC numbers, NGC 588, 592, 595, and 604. IR studies have been undertaken to quantify the rate of star formation occurring in M33 - equating to around 0.45 solar masses of material per year!

In order to help present the incredibly fine features of this spiral galaxy, the full resolution file has been uploaded. Zoom around and take a peak, there’s a whole lot to see! This was our first time only using RGB filters for an image due to an ongoing issue with the luminance frames coming from this scope.

The refractors!

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.
