Galaxy field including NGC906, 909, 910, 911, 912, 913, 914

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Some old unprocessed data I found from 2020 that I captured with my 16" dob. Each 8 minute sub was created by live-stacking 320 x 1.5 second exposures using Sharpcap. A wide variety of galaxies types at can be found in the field. The universe is a big place, and that is truly understatement; no human language really has superlatives up to the task of conveying just how mind numbingly large it is.

Most of the brighter larger galaxies in the field (mostly with NGC designations) are at about the same distance of roughly 236 million light years, so they are all members of the same large galaxy cluster. The smallest LEDA catalog galaxies in the field are more like one billion light years away, while the tiny fuzzies are 2 to 3 billion light years away.

There are hundreds of galaxies are in this field, every large or small fuzzy dot being a galaxy. If each has 100 billion stars, this image captures the light of 10s of trillions of stars. And this is just one small patch of sky less than a third of a degree across. Just imagine how many more galaxies Hubble or Webb would see if pointed at the same patch of sky.

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.
