Revision title: Revised

This is not a galaxy that I have seen imaged much and it is not a specular galaxy. It is one of many galaxy in the Sculptor Group and actually gravitationally bound to the Sculptor Galaxy. This galaxy is around 12.2 million light years away. There are around 20 PGC galaxies identified in this image, but you can clearly see several to the right and below that are between 184 and 295 million year year away, boy that is a long ways off.

I captured this and the Sculptor galaxy while waiting for Pleiades to come up. It was pretty windy when I captured this galaxy, so I had to delete several images.

Description: Did some more processing trying to get rid of some of the noise, hopefully I didn't lose to much data.

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.
