Bode's , Cigar Galaxies and NGC 2976 swimming in IFN (Wael Omar WO)

Bode's , Cigar Galaxies and NGC 2976 swimming in IFN

M81, also known as Bode's galaxy, is a large bright spiral galaxy located 11.8 million light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major. It’s a grand design galaxy of diameter 90000 light years with active nucleus that has supermassive Black hole ( 70 million solar mass). It’s also reported that M81 may be the source of FRB 20200120E, a repeating fast radio burst. You can find it in the middle right of my image.Next to its lower left is the M82 , also known “Cigar Galaxy”, it’s a star burst galaxy that undergo high rate of star formation which is triggered by interaction with the neighboring Bode’s galaxy. Tidal forces caused by gravity have deformed M82, a process that started about 100 million years ago. This interaction has caused star formation to increase tenfold compared to "normal" galaxies. The red spark in the middle of M81 represent the light from the glowing hydrogen filaments.On the upper right you can see very small spot , its NGC 2976 , a peculiar dwarf galaxy .the galaxy's outer regions stopped making stars because the gas ran out. Now, the inner disk is almost out of gas as new stars burst to life, shrinking the star-formation region to a small area of about 5,000 light-years around the core. The very small blue dots in the galaxy are fledgling blue giant stars residing in the remaining active star-birth regions.All over the image there is reddish brown interstellar dust known as IFN “Integrated flux nebula “. These nebula clouds are illuminated by energy from the integrated flux of all the stars , They are composed of dust particles, hydrogen and carbon monoxide and other elements.The image is represented in HaLRGB , Total Exposure = 7 hrs and 10 minutes taken at Bortle 5 and Bortle 2 areas.I use zwo 294 mm pro with Red Cat 51, the FOV is too small for these galaxies but I tried my best to reveal their details as I could.

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.
