M 101 - Pinwheel Galaxy. High resolution and deep field with C2PU T 1000.

Revision title: BXT trie for the fat and medium stars

This deep field and HR image was taken with the 1m C2PU telescope in june, using a QHY600 camera. S. Brunier and David Vernet sent the data to me for processing.

I have rarely seen such a resolution. The stretched stack shows faint objects of mag 25,3.

Luminance : 13 hours (784 x 60 s)

R : 2 hours (126x60s)

V : 2 hours (115x60s)

B : 2 hours (117x60s)

IMO this is one of the best images of this object ever taken from the ground (Pro or amator). For example here is one from the Kitt Peak 4m (credits on the site) :

Hope you like it.

Title: BXT trie for the fat and medium stars

Description: I tried BXT from the beginning to see if it is better. The fat and medium stars are. But I find my conventionnal pipeline better for the rest. Enjoy.

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.
