NGC 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.

John Consadine - I wanted to try out the club's 2.5X powermate on my 8" Skywatcher using the ZWO planetary camera. After processing with Autostakkert and Registax I was pleased with the result. I just need more clear nights!!
