HCG 92 - Stephan's Quintet & NGC 7331

Link: https://www.galactic-hunter.com/post/hcg-92-stephan-s-quintet

HCG 92, also known as Stephan's Quintet, is a compact group of galaxies located in the constellation Pegasus.

I imaged this group of very small galaxies from a Bortle 4 zone, and made sure to frame my shot so that a much larger object, NGC 7331would also be visible in the final image!

Stephan's Quintet is a visual group of five galaxies that appear to be very close to each other. Scientists confirmed that at least four out of the five objects are so close to one another that they are interacting. These four members (HCG 92) are bound by gravity and will merge into one large galaxy in several million years. As for the fifth galaxy visible, it only appears to be close to the group but is actually much, much closer to Earth (39 million light years) than the other four (260-340 million light years).

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.
