NGC 3190 Series - Leo Quartet (2019)

Link: http://astroquest1.blogspot.com/

I imaged this almost exactly one year ago with my old set up and am back at it. The NGC 3190 Series or the Hickson 44, after Canadian astronomer Paul Hickson, is a group of gravitational bound four galaxies about 100 million light-years away in constellation Leo. The two spiral galaxies in the center of the image are edge-on NGC 3190 with its distinctive dust lanes, and S-shaped NGC 3187. The bright elliptical galaxy on the upper central portion is NGC 3193 while the spiral in the lower left portion is NGC 3185. NGC 3193 shows some detail despite being so small with my equipment and I tried to preserve as much as possible. The shape of NGC 3187 is intriguing with its distinctive S-shape. I did crop the image a bit but I like the wide field look so sort of a half in between crop.

I finished this at the end of March it has just taken me this long to process it. I am doing too many things all at once, preparing for a vacation, boy scout stuff, and my normal day job. It is a wonder I have time to do anything.

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.
