Arp 298 and Friends

Acquisition type: Electronically-Assisted Astronomy (EAA, e.g. based on a live video feed)

Interacting with nearby IC5283.

Even at less than 10m, I notice this galaxy is a ring. Very bright nucleus with a nearby bright star and another just below it. An interesting chain of 4 faint stars is above and points toward this galaxies nucleus. IC5283 is nearby to the left and is a narrow oval in shape, but not much detail within at full frame. Arp photo shows a tail emerging from the end of IC5283, but I do not detect this at 10m. When zooming in to about 70% I can see this tail well against the background sky glow. It almost doubles the length of the galaxy, but is much fainter. I also note some internal brightness variation along with two faint stars just off the left and bottom of the main galaxy. Arp 298 is very clearly ring shaped. The nearby star to the top of the nucleus appears to be imbedded in a slight halo around the nucleus. A dark ring around the entire nucleus is apparent and then a faint extension from that star out to the ring - which wraps around the entire center and includes the second bright star just below the nucleus. This extension is very clearly in the direction out from the nucleus and flows toward IC5283 which is otherwise well outside the ring. The combination of the tail in IC5283 and the extension from the nucleus of NGC7469 is likely what interested Arp in the first place.

Note: other images of this pair don't show a complete ring - only very long double spiral.

Many interesting field galaxies - especially one (edge-on galaxy) near the right edge of the field (idenetified as FGC2451 @ 16 mag)

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.
