Deer Lick Galaxy Group - NGC7331 - 7335 - 7336 - 7337 - 7340 - 7327

In the days I spent under the amazing sky of the Dolomites (Braies - Italy) just before mid-August I mainly dedicated the session for visual deep-sky observation, which is the most delightful activity with a large diameter Dobsonian under a sky of that quality. One of the objects that I most enjoyed to observe was Stephan's Quintet, which I did not identify immediately. Initially I was looking at a beautiful galaxy, very bright, with at least two other companions nearby, but the picture did not correspond to the Quintet. Studying the map I realized that instead it was the group object of the photo, and this then allowed me to identify quite easily the Quintet, beautiful through the ocular. During one of the two nights I dedicated to imaging I decided to shoot this galaxy group because it is very beautiful and is a little less photographed than the Quintet itself. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get the color but the next new moon, weather permitting, I'll complete the captures.

Description: A few days ago I presented the luminance of this nice group of galaxies. This is the color version I obtained with my ASI294MC camera under my sub-urban light polluted sky. Much less resolution and quality respect to the luminance captured under an amazing SQM 21,6 sky at 2000 m altitude from the Dolomites in the north of Italy.

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.
