NGC 7331, the Deer Lick group, is a collection of galaxies in the constellation Pegasus. The foreground of this field is occupied by the actual galaxy NGC 7331 with NGC 7335, 7336, 7337 and 7340 occupying the background. Technically speaking, the Deer Lick group isn’t an actual group of galaxies due to the lack of gravitational interaction between the individual galaxies. It’s fortunate that the background “fleas” present the way that they do but - the actual distance between individual galaxies is on the order of ~2 million lightyears. Even so, this region of Pegasus is incredibly rich with galaxy clusters with Stephan’s quintet just out of frame to the bottom left. An incredibly faint, but slightly resolved, integrated flux nebula can be seen all throughout the foreground of the image, extending all the way from NGC 7331 to Stephan’s quintet. The naming of this group of galaxies is completely unrelated to physical deer and is instead a reference to the observation of NGC 7331 by Tom Lorenzin one night at the Deerlick Gap Overlook in North Carolina.

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.
