NGC5907

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Its been cloudy for most of the last two months, but luckily I still have data from last year that I haven't processed yet. I only had 24 minutes of data from a good night last year in April, and no chance to collect more on this target since on account of poor weather. The galaxy is pretty bright and the night I capture this had good seeing and transparency, so a lot of detail showed up despite the limited integration time.

The little blue irregular galaxy at the far right is PGC/LEDA 54419. It looks like an analog of our own galaxy's Magellanic clouds. It has the same redshift as NGC 5907 and so is at the same distance of about 56 million light years and so might be close enough to be a satellite of the edge-on big spiral.

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.
