NGC 253 - Caldwell 65 - Sculptor Galaxy

NGC253 Sculptor Galaxy or Caldwell 65 is approximately 12 million light years away from us. This is considered relatively close on cosmic distances because it belongs to the next galaxy clusters. Its relatively southerly declination gives a privilege view from Brazilian skies. It shows its richness in structure due to dusty clouds. Looks like for me as an irregular but at closer look still is possible to recognize spiral arms. Its line of sight is 12 degrees according to Vehrenberg (1983). This is approximately 1hour 36 min exposition time in filters Hapha, H beta and OIII.

_____________________

A galáxia do Escultor, também conhecida como NGC253 ou Caldwell 65, está aproximadamente a 12 milhões de anos-luz de distância da terra. Isso é considerado próximo em termos relativos para distâncias cósmicas, até porque pertence ao aglomerado de galáxias mais próximo. Sua declinação relativamente ao sul dá uma visualização privilegiada em céus brasileiros. É possível notar uma grande riqueza estrutural relacionada com as nuvens de empoeiras que absorvem luz. Para mim, incialmente parece irregular, mas com olhar mais atento é possível reconhecer braços em espiral. Em relação à linha de visão encontra-se inclinada 12 graus em relação ao observador. Este registro possui aproximadamente 1h 36 min nos filtros Hapha, H beta e OIII.

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.
