Arp1, Arp285 and distant galaxies

NGC 2857 (also known as Arp 1 and PGC 26666) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered on January 9, 1856, by R. J. Mitchell. It is located 230 Mly away.
Due to its low luminosity, it was identified only nearly one century after the other two large interacting galaxies visible here, NGC 2854 and NGC 2856, that together form the group Arp 285, and are approximately 120Mly away.

The field contains a trove of far away objects: for instance the galaxy PGC 2344289 is 1.3 Billion ly away, and PGC 2343045 has a distance of about 900 Million ly.

As remarked by @Gary Imm , the little smudge just below right NGC 2857 is the galaxy SDSS J092445.36+492234.2, that, following from its radial velocity of 50500 km/sec and the Hubble constant, should be at 2.35 Billion ly from us.

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.
