This image shows five NGC galaxies - NGC 1057, 1060, 1061, 1066, and 1067 - and there is a presence of foreground interstellar material as well. Some annotations may also include NGC 1062 - but this is a simply a star in the early versions of NGC and not a galaxy.

There are several other galaxies from other catalogs in this field as well. Most of these galaxies have similar redshifts and radial velocities making them potential group members. There are eight cataloged galaxy groups covering this image field ([T2015] nest 200041, WBL 085, MLGC1403, [FK2002] 37, LGG 72, [CHM2007] HDC 165, [TKT2016] 213, [TKK2018] 1026). Most galaxies in this field find themselves as members of at least one of these groups - some are members of many of these groups.

There are also many background galaxies that are visible in the full size image. The furthest objects are the Quasars (all candidates in this image) and their distances range from 8.206 to 10.24 billion years (Lookback). These objects, information, background galaxies, and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image.

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.
