NGC1512 and NGC1510 - an unequal galaxy pair becoming one

Dear astronomers,

The weather was still bad in central Europe, so I decided to go for antoher remote astronomy dataset to keep the kids interested in astronomy and improve my LRGB processing skills.

When going for remote observatory datasets, I prefer objects of the southern hemisphere, which are not reachable with our telescope anyway.

I asked my now 10yo son to chose an object and he selected NGC 1512 of which - to be honest - I hadn't heard of before.

Luckily, NGC 1512 is a southern object, vailable on Telescope Live and very beautiful - unluckily, it was very hard to process and it took me quite some time to get to an acceptable result...

Fortunately, my son's happy with the result, although he still prefers the JWST and Hubble images of NGC1512 :-)

Hope you like it too and CS,
Timo

P.S. Although Pixinsights is able to identify 21 PGCgalaxies beyond the two main NGC objects, HyperLeda has only distance modulus values for one of them: PGC142211 is about 833 lightyears away.

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.
