NGC 7331, Deer Lick Group, NGC 7320 and Stephan’s Quintet

The Deer Lick Group is in the upper right corner of the image with the most prominent galaxy in this visual grouping being NGC 7331. NGC 7331 is an unbarred spiral galaxy approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The other 4 galaxies are NGC 7335, NGC 7336, NGC 7337 and NGC 7340. These 4 galaxies are incredibly farther away at distances approximately between 294 to 365 million light-years away.
In the bottom left is Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies, NGC 7320 which is approximately 40 million light-years from Earth, galaxies NGC 7317, NGC 7318A, NGC 7318B and NGC 7319 are approximately 290 million light-years away. The four distant galaxies are connected to each other through gravity.
Being able to take images of these incredibly distant galaxies is just amazing!

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.
