NGC 467, 470 and 474

After seeing the amazing NGC 474 published by Lorenzo Siciliano, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. So I decided to alter my November schedule to focus on this one object.

So far, every night has had high wispy clouds. I planned to gather 12 hours of L and 2 hours of each RGB with no clouds. What you see here is only 4.5 hours of L and 2 hours of each RGB all through wispy clouds. I plan to image this object for another week to see if I can get better data. Until then, I hope you enjoy this work in progress.

What a surprise to see another similar "shell" object, NGC 467, in this wider field!

***Reprocessed from additional data captured in clear 21.4 SQM skies on 11/5, 11/6 and 11/7. 10 hours L and approximately 4 hours of each RGB.***

"Scientists have demonstrated through computer modelling that interacting or merging galaxies can produce multiple shells in concentric layers. NGC 474 is a distant elliptical galaxy exhibiting just such an pattern. By chance, a second shell-type galaxy is present in the upper left corner of this field (NGC 467)."

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.
