NGC 4837 - Interacting Pair of Galaxies in UMa.

Many years ago when I was using my 6" reflector and an EQ3.2 mount I stumbled

across ngc 4837 - I was actually looking for M94, I think. The image I got with

my MX5C was not great and I have been looking to re-image this one with my H9C

camera for a while. I got around to looking for it a couple of nights ago and

got some reasonable exposures. It's very tiny and not at all spectacular but

still an interesting example of an interacting galaxy pair.

I don't have much data on the pair except the following:

1. both galaxies are around mag 14

2. both are tiny about 1' x 0.5'

3. they are about 7 deg from M94 which indicates how far out I was looking for

M94.

4. they are a very, very long way away from us!

5. there are at least 20 other extremely faint galaxies in the image.

This is 60 minutes exposure so probably not worth much more effort on -

GoogleSky gives a better impression of the 2 galaxies.

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.
