NGC 4725 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy with a prominent ring structure, located in the constellation of Coma Berenices near the north galactic pole. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 6, 1785. The galaxy lies at a distance of approximately 40 millions light-years from the Milky Way. It is the brightest member of the Coma I Group and suspected a type 2 Seyfert galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the core (extract from Wikipedia).

Well, as the new year starts, I felt strong urge to use my time machine again going back to spring 2017...No pandemic, fine weather, the good old times

Hope you can enjoy the picture, nowadays I would increase exposure time but the main structures are already visible.

Happy and peaceful New Year to all of you,

Andreas

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.
Dismissals 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.
