NGC 7700

This Astrobin Debut Object trio is located in the constellation of Pisces at a declination of -3 degrees.

NGC 7700 is a pretty edge-on magnitude 14 spiral with a central bulge, a bright inner lens disk and a well defined and symmetric outer disk. It could be a lenticular galaxy – hard to tell when it is edge-on to our view. It is located 230 million light years away and is slightly larger than our Milky Way, at 130,000 light years in diameter.

Above it is the spiral galaxy LEDA 71782, which is a bit further away at 270 million light years. This galaxy is smaller at 45,000 light years in diameter. This galaxy is often referred to as NGC 7699, which is not correct.

At the top of the image is the bright galaxy NGC 7701. The distance and type of this galaxy is not consistently reported. It looks like a lenticular galaxy to me.

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.
