These galaxies are about as small as I'd choose to make a dedicated effort on with my scope and typical seeing conditions here in Flagstaff.

I was drawn to NGC 5033 in particular because of its octopus-tentacle like arms. I tried to capture as many of the surrounding even-smaller galaxies with my framing in the uncropped version, but since the main two subjects are so tiny I opted to crop a bit to give them more attention.

Please check out the uncropped version here to see a couple of the other interesting galaxies in the neighborhood: https://www.astrobin.com/full/7tvu73/D/ In particular, NGC 5014 seems to have some less impressive than, albeit similar to, Messier 82 like stuff going on maybe?

Anyways, I'm about done trying to shoot galaxies and I am looking forward to shooting some nebulae again now. Flagstaff's typical seeing and wind conditions make it a bit nerve-racking trying to get crisp sub-exposures that best suit small galaxies.

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.
