NGC 2366

NGC 2366 is a barred irregular dwarf galaxy located in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is part of the M81 group of galaxies, and lies about 10 million light years away. The southern end of NGC 2366 has a large, luminous HII region known as Markarian 71. Inside Mrk 71 there are two super star clusters (SSC) which are named 'A' and 'B' or 'Knot A' and 'Knot B'. To the side of Mrk 71 is another dwarf galaxy NGC 2363 which is interacting with NGC 2366.

This was a dim, challenging object, with an apparent magnitude of only 11.4, but the components were spread over an area of 8.1 x 3.3 arc minutes, so it was at least large enough to attempt to capture.

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.
