The Draco Trio (NGC5982, NGC5985, NGC5981) and friends - and all the features we love about galaxies

The Draco Triplet (NGC5982, NGC5985, NGC5981) or the NGC5982 group is a particular nice group of galaxies, showing many features and characteristics of these beautiful objects. NGC5982 is a grand design spiral seen from a high inclination angle with a lot of structure in its spiral arms. NGC5981 is edge-on with a nice dust band. NGC 5982 is a E3 galaxies which rather easily reveals many complex structures for only at first sight structureless (and at time boring looking) elliptical galaxies, such as a kinematically decoupled nucleus and a fair number of shells in the outskirts. It sure was fun to dive a bit into this group ...

data were taken on March 26,27, 28, 29, and April 2nd. at the end of last night I had to rush to pack my scope - as suddenly the weather radar showed snow on its way (but luckily, it did not materialize)

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.
