NGC 2683 is a spiral galaxy located about 25 million light years away, located in the Lynx constellation. Its apparent magnitude is 10.6. It has been informally called the UFO Galaxy (unidentified flying object, UFO) due to its resemblance to a flying saucer. With medium telescopes it appears as a faint line of light, since it is almost sideways from our perspective. Since I have obtained this image with my small ED80, I have used the Dizzle combination to be able to increase the resolution without the appearance of artifacts and thus be able to appreciate the yellowish core and the dust lanes that make up its spiral arms.

NGC 2683 has about 300 globular clusters - twice as many as our galaxy - and is the brightest member of the group of galaxies of its name.

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.
