NGC3953

NGC 3953 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major at a distance of 56 million light years.. The galaxy is known to exhibit an inner ring structure that encircles the bar. The tightly wound spiral structure spans about 111,000 light years across.

NGC 3953 belongs to the Ursa Major North galaxy group, which consists of as many as 50 galaxies, including the dominant M109 (NGC 3992).

This is my first attempt on this galaxy. Like with my image of M109, I wanted to try and increase the scale so I shot this image using a 2x barlow. Lot's more detail to be revealed in the galaxy, but I think more aperture then I current have available will be needed to accomplish that goal!

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.
