A galaxy pair in Camelopardalis - NGC 2336 and IC 467

NGC 2336 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is located at a distance of about 101 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 2336 is about 200000 light years across. It was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel in 1876.
Along with NGC 2336 is a paired galaxy, IC 467, at a distance of about 104 million light years and at about 0.6 million light years from the companion. The field has multiple background galaxies that can be seen in the annotated image (mouseover). Some have redshift estimated distances, for example PGC2781510 is at 1960 million light years and PGC2782391 is 1176 at million light years. The furthest objects visible in the image are the Quasars, 9 in total (one is annotated but not visible), which magnitudes are around 20-21. They are distant billions light years and the furthest I was able to find is WISEA J072552.20+801844.3 (top left of image) at 10.5 billion years. It's amazing!!!

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.
