NGC5963, NGC5965, and neighbors in Draco

Another nice group of galaxies that is not often featured on astrobin. NGC5965 is an edge-on spiral, I like the blue "tips". NGC 5963 complements this by giving us a face-on view. NGC5963 is of fairly low surface brightness with a bright core. For working these details out, the fabulous GHS script by @David Payne and @Mike Cranfield was quite helpful. in the upper right quadrant there is the lenslet/E-S0 radio galaxy NGC5969 and the Sa-type spiral NGC5971 with an AGN. So quite an ensemble. There is some feature at an angle of about 10h and a distance of 1-2 galaxy radii of NGC5971. Initially I worried to have some sort of reflection in my image train, but since I saw a faint structure of similar morphology in some of the other astrobin photos, it is probably real. Still need to track it down (for rainy days) ...

Data was taken on May 2, May 3, May 8, May 24, May 30, and June 2 (nights are short at 52°N)

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.
