Interacting Galaxies NGC 3190, 3185, 3187, 3193

Interacting Galaxies NGC 3190, 3185, 3187, 3193 are part of the Hickson 44 compact group in the constellation, Leo. Astronomer Paul Hickson published a list of 100 such groups in 1982. These groups often have gravitationally interacting galaxies. While many interacting galaxies are distant, appear small and are hard to resolve with amateur telescopes, I am fascinated by them. This field of view provides spiral, barred spiral and elliptical galaxies. In the background, shapes of much fainter galaxies, such as PGC 86788 at mag 17.30, PGC 2806871 at mag 16.34 and PGC 4563677 at mag 20.95 can be discerned. It is interesting to consider that while the light from all of these galaxies arrives at our telescope at the same time, the light from the fainter galaxies represent conditions tens of millions of years earlier than the light from the foreground galaxies.

This data was captured using a rented telescope that I've since stopped using because better data is available from Deep Sky West. I'd given up on this data years ago due to column defects, internal reflections and strong gradients, but decided to give it one more try. While the image is still a bit soft and fuzzy by my standards, I thought that it was worth sharing this interesting bit of the cosmos.

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.
