- ngc mbNGC 3718 galaxy in Ursa Major - Martin Boddy 52 million light years away. This was a spiral galaxy until a near miss with galaxy NGC 3729 on the left, which is still only about 150,000 light years from it. The red band was possibly the around the galaxy rim originally. Bottom left there is a distant group of five interacting galaxies 400 million light years away (Hickson 56).This image is still work in progress, have six hours integration so far, trying to get the fine detail in the arms.

The hidden galaxy in the constellation of Camelopardalis.
This is a difficult object on the edge of the Milky way shrouded by stars and dust. But I was pleased to get something to show, clear nights have been rare.
