Deerlick Group and Stephen's Quintet

The Deerlick Group is an actual galaxy group, however Stephen's Quintet is not strictly speaking a galaxy group since it includes galaxies which are only visually apparently close rather than actually interacting. There are, however, a number of interacting galaxies in this image, lots of small background galaxies, and generally quite a rich field. There's some IFN in this image, but more exposure time would be needed to fully develop it without compromising other aspects of the image. This is only about 1/2 of the exposure time I had planned for the target, however July was a terrible month weather-wise for us in Georgia is this year (usually out best month) and so I'm moving on to other targets which have been backing up due to lack of sky time.

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.
