At a distance of 60 million light-years in the constellation Leo, the Hickson 44 Galaxy Group contains four galaxies in a tight group that showcase the diversity of galaxies. At the upper left, the elliptical galaxy NGC 3193 appears as an amorphous conglomation of stars, lacking any spiral structure. Elliptical galxies are relatively inert, composed largely of older stars, and lack sufficient interstellar gas or dust to undergo much new star formation. Therefore, elliptical galaxies also lack the red glowing hydrogen-alpha regions, the blue-whjite clusters of newly formed stars, and dark dust lanes that enriuch images of spiral galaxies. In the centre of the image is the tightly wound spiral galaxy NGC 3190, tilted only 8° from edge on. Its central dust lane is warped by gravitational interaction with nearby galaxies. Right is the spiral galaxy NGC 3187, with gravitational forces stretching the edges of its spiral arms into tidal tails. In the bottom right is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3185.

We used last week and a half nights to aquire Hickson 44 galaxy group. We got lucky here and there a clear sky window opened up. I is our first go at this particular object group. Hope you like it. Critic and comments are very welcome! Thank you!

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.
