NGC 7640

Everyone is looking at the big neighbors in Andromeda and Triangulum but there is another beauty around.

NGC 7640 is around 26 Million LY away and has an diameter of about 60.000 LY.

Wikipedia says: There is evidence that this galaxy has experienced an interaction with another galaxy in the (astronomically) recent past.

For me it is already difficult to recognize that this is a barred spiral galaxy, due to the edge on view.

It seemes to be very alone in that region of sky but it forms the isolated galaxy trio KTG 80 together with PGC 71368 and PGC 71596 (both outside my image).

I've managed to get some frames of it this night but mainly I've started my new project and tested some things around my image train. As a sideeffect I finally managed to get the right distance to my CC and from now on stars should be round to the edges of the image.

It was therefore an eventful and successful night :-)

Thanks for watching!

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.
