NGC 5985 and the "Draco Trio"

Link: https://jthommes.com/Astro/DracoTrio.htm

This grouping of galaxies is sometimes called the Draco Trio - from left to right is NGC 5985 , NGC 5982, NGC5981. Their distances (by redshift) are 118, 140, 118 million light years. The little galaxy above NGC 5982 is at a distance of 959 million light years. This image is a 1.5x crop form the original full FOV image.

The full FOV image is somewhat larger and also captures NGC 5976 and UGC 9934 (also known as NGC 5976A) to the right side of the full FOV image. There are noticeable background galaxies seen on the full size image. There are multiple Quasars in this image (as seen on the annotated image) - the furthest of which has a redshift of 3.987 (light travel time or Lookback of 12.15 billion years). These objects, information, and some of the brighter stars are identified in the pan and zoom full size annotated image on my website.

Also on my website is the full FOV pan and zoom image - Full FOV 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.
