NGC 7331 and Deer Lick Group

NGC 7331 in Pegasus is the visually larger spiral galaxy in this image, a part of the Deer Lick Group of galaxies. However, this group is not really a group at all, it is only an accidental alignment. The background galaxies are in absolute terms similar size to NGC 7331, but lie about 10 times farther away than the 50 million light-years distance of NGC7331. NGC 7331 is very similar to our galaxyy in size, shape and mass, with similar spiral arms. But NGC 7331 lacks the bar and dust that cuts through our own Milky Way.

Description: I thought I could bring out more detail in the fainter regions of NGC 7331 and also more of the fainter background galaxies and some detail there. It is a challenge to bring out those details without blowing out the galaxy core as well as the stars. But I am much happier with the balance in this revision.

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.
