NGC1097 is a Seyfert Galaxy - meaning bright core and strong H, Ha, N and O lines on its spectrum. Its distance from us is about 45 Mio LJ and its diameter about 125.000 LJ. The bright structured center has a diameter of about 5000 Lj and in its center is a supermassive black hole with a huge mass of about 140Mio sunmasses. Its position is in the formation Fornax. It has got two companion galaxies, NGC 1097A and B. One is nicely visible and the other one is very small.

I just read, that in that galaxy a new supernova was discovered a few days ago and luckily all those frames were taken after the SN appeared - so it is visible. You can read that short announcement here: https://www.spektrum.de/alias/wunder-des-weltalls/supernova-in-ngc-1097/2180925

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.
