Hickson 10

NGC 536 (UGC 1013, PGC 5344, HCG 10a and others) is the AGN spiral at the center of the image. It is located approximately 210.6 million light-years away in Andromeda.NGC 531 (UGC 1012, PGC 5340, HCG 10c and others) is the odd spiral above NGC 536 located at a similar distance.NGC 529 (UGC 995, PGC 5299, HCG 10b and others) is the E/S0 (lenticular / intermediate spiral) to the right (west) of NGC 536. It located approximately 171 million light-years away.NGC 542 (PGC 5360, HCG 10d and others) is the somewhat edge-on spiral below NGC 536.Collectively, these make up Hickson Compact Group 10 (HCG 10)

The bright star to the right of the large galaxy (HD 8673) has a confirmed exoplanet – HD 8673b - http://exoplanet.eu/catalog/hd_8673_a_b/
-----------------------
Been awhile since I have had enough clear weather to shoot much. Decided on trying something a bit different, this HCG 10, aka Hickson 10. Not a whole lot of pictures of it out there but is basically made up of four NGC galaxies.

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.
