M 100 with the C2PU 1m Deltagraph - Very deep and high resolution field ! Magnitude 26

Hi everybody,

During winter, we started a series of images on M100 with Serge Brunier and David Vernet using the 1m telescope of the C2PU.

The goal was to make a very deep and detailed image. After 3 months using the free slots of the telescope, we have 15.5 hours of luminance and 2h15 of RGB color.

The images were made with good to excellent seeing, sometimes below 1 arc second.

I dialed in the luminance in 3 sorted layers :

- 10 hours for background and faint objects (1.5" FWHM)
- 2h37 for medium lights (1.2" FWHM)
- 65 minutes for the center of the galaxy (1.14" FWHM).

We are very happy with the result. This is the finest image we have made with this telescope.

The final version is a crop of 4500 pixels. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE FULL 9000 pixels FRAME IN VERSION B :

Hope you will get lost in this field

Clear skies,

JF
Edit : professional mesure (CFHT) at magnitude 26. 🎉🎉

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.
