NGC 5394 - NGC 5395 HERON GALAXY DUO (Nina1955)

NGC 5394 - NGC 5395 HERON GALAXY DUO

These are small (to my telescopes) galaxies that interact with each other.
visual size is about 3' and 1.5 ' but they are of course many lightyears away and have many lightyears diameters
Location is in Canes Venatici

Took 2 hour subs of 120s with my TS115 refractor and the asi 533MC and L Pro filter
cropped the picture about 50%

It was discovered by William Herschel on May 16, 1787. NGC 5395 and NGC 5394 are included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 84 in the category "Spiral galaxies with large high surface brightness companions".[4][5]NGC 5395 is the larger spiral galaxy interacting with smaller barred spiral galaxy, NGC 5394. NGC 5395 is nearly face-on, with a diameter of around 140,000 light-years across. NGC 5395 has a bright central region and is distorted due to the interaction with NGC 5394. The larger of the two rings around the galaxy forms a ring off the center of the galaxy. Dust lanes can be seen throughout the galaxy.[4]NGC 5394 is the smaller barred spiral galaxy interacting with larger spiral galaxy, NGC 5395. NGC 5394 has an oval disk, with a diameter of around 90 thousand light years across. It is also located at a distance of 160 million light-years across but receding away from the Earth at a distance of 3448 kilometers (2142.4 miles) per second. Most of the gas is concentrated at the center of the galaxy, however, two out of the three spiral arms show no sign of ongoing star formation.[4]

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.
