NGC 5371 & Supernova 2020bio

This object is a spiral galaxy located 130 million light years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici at a declination of +40 degrees. This 11.9 magnitude galaxy spans 4 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to an actual diameter of 150,000 light years.

This is a beautiful slightly barred galaxy with many visible star clusters. Most of these star clusters are on the lower right side, towards the Hickson 68 five member galaxy group which is slightly out of the frame. This galaxy group is about the same distance away as NGC 5371 and is about 1 million light years from it.

The galaxy arms are discontinuous and hard to trace from the core to the outer edge. Faint star streams extend far beyond the end of the arms.

Thanks to Gotthard Stuhm for pointing out the supernova that I captured by accident in my image.

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.
