ngc 5777

NGC 5777 and UGC 9570 are a pair of galaxies in Draco about 100 million light-years away. NGC 5777 is an Sb spiral.

It is possible there is a small plume to the S edge of the galaxy but being edge-on it is hard to tell.

The companion, UGC 9570 is listed as a dwarf spiral with the same redshift indicating it is probably interacting with ngc 5777. It has a very indistinct structure.

There are quite a few very faint quasars in the field as indicated by Simbad but I am unable to identify any in my image. Halton Arp has a thing about quasars not being at redshift distances but being ejected from the cores of active galaxies. Whether he ever showed any interest in ngc 5777 I cannot say but there does appear to be an unusually high number of quasars around this galaxy.

My image the result of 45 x 120 second exposures on a hazy summer night a couple of months back.

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.
