Introducing to astrobin: NGC7223 and PGC 214803, a.k.a. Galaxy pair Holm 788

NGC7223 (left) is a barred spiral galaxy of type SBc in the constellation of Lacerta. It is accompanied by PGC 214803 (at the upper right), together they form the gravitationally bound pair Holm 788. Furthermore, NGC7223 is the brightest galaxy of the NGC 7223 group, with UGC11927 (right) being the other prominent member. An interesting curiosity of NGC 7223 is that it has a Wikipedia page in German, French and some 20 other languages, but not in English! why is Anglesaxonia disliking NGC 7223?

Maybe that's also why thus far there was no close-up shot yet on astrobin, you can only find it hiding in the background of some wide-field images (including a spectacular image of Hale Bopp on photographic film by @Christoph Lichtblau), so I submit it also to the introductory collection (I hope @Gary Imm agrees).

Data were taken on August 23, 24, 25, 28, and 29 2022

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.
