NGC4725 and Longmore Tritton 5

NGC 4725 is a barred spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices. It has a size of over 100,000 light years across and lies at a distance of 41 million light years. Just above it in this frame is NGC 4747, another spiral galaxy. And another one, NGC 4712, sits below (this is small but looks quite a pretty one for a higher resolution set up). Nearby lies Longmore Tritton 5, a planetary nebula 2609 light years distant.

With awful weather this winter, getting the data for this was painful, requiring multiple sessions and a lot of throwing away of subs. I don't shoot many galaxies, so the processing doesn't really come naturally. Getting the balance between the galaxy and PN, plus adding in Ha and OIII were added complexities.

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.
