M83 Southern Pinwheel Galaxy

Here my 3rd processed image from TSP and another southern target. This target does get a little higher than the other 2, but is still fairly low about 26 to 28 degrees. This is 3 nights of imaging but only about 2.5 hours, again rotating cloud cover kept us hoping around to different targets and I did not get as much Ha as I wanted, I can add that at my home, if the clouds ever clear. Like the other 2 images from TSP, this is the first time I have imaged this target.

This beautiful galaxy was discovered in 1752 by Nicholas Louis de Laceille and it was the 3rd galaxy discovered after M31 & M32. M83 is 15 million light years away and about 100,000 light years in diameter. M83 has also been one of the most active galaxies for observed supernova.

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.
