M31 - Andromeda Galaxy

Ever since I first shot our galactic neighbor, I wanted to shoot it again, but longer, with more focal lenght and hopefully better skills. I‘ve always kinda wondered how our Milkyway looks from the Andromeda Galaxy, but I figured they would probably look pretty similar as they are both barred spiral galaxies. I‘ve actually wanted to shoot H-Alpha seperately but 300+ second exposures were too risky for my mount that night, so I went the safe way and collected normal RGB data. I used the ZwoEAF the first time - what a life saver if you want to sleep while imaging! I felt a little bit rusty in PixInsight as I didn‘t really do AP for the last few months due to bad weather and real life priorities. Still, I see progress in my editing skills!

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.
