NGC7610

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

I shot this from two different dark sky sites within 200 miles of my home in Vancouver, WA. The eastern half of Oregon has some of the darkest skies in the U.S. so I am very lucky. Oddly though, I rarely get good seeing at any of these sites, whereas I commonly get excellent seeing in East Vancouver. So frustratingly, I can either capture lower resolution deep images at bin 2x2 from a Bortle 1 and 2 dark sky sites near me or I can capture bin 1x1 images from my Bortle 6-7 backyard.

Accordingly, the image is fairly deep, but lower in detail than I would have liked. Its an interesting little object though!

NGC 7610 redshift measurements point to it being about 146 million light years away. There seems to be some confusion as to whether where NGC 7616 is. The NEDs database shows it as a synonym for 7610, but SIMBAD seems to show NGC7616 as the small round irregular galaxy to the lower right of NGC7610. No distance data, but my guess is that its a companion of 7610. The tiny oval shaped galaxy very close to the galaxy at its lower right appears to be a much more distant unreleated spiral galaxy.

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.
