NGC 7228 Galaxy Group

This image captures a group of small galaxies located 300 million light years away in the constellation of Lacerta at a declination of +39 degrees. I could find no detailed information on them. This group is making their first appearance on Astrobin, so please understand if they appear a bit nervous in their debut.

There are 3 primary members of this group. All 3 of these galaxies are about 1.7 arc-minutes in diameter and have diameters of about 130,000 light years.

The beautiful symmetric grand spiral galaxy in the center is NGC 7228. The thinner spiral at right is NGC 7227, and the large elliptical at left is UGC 11950 (or PGC 68286).

Some of the other galaxies in this view are likely also members of this group, but I could not find distance information for them.

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.
