About this image

One hour 22 minutes observation of this pair of galaxies in Ursa Major. Gain 70 and astro filter employed in the Dwarf 3. Processed in Stellar Studio (auto settings). Binned x2. Sharpened and saturation increased in Photoshop. NGC 3718 is the larger of the two galaxies in the centre of the image. It has been distorted by gravitational interaction with a neighbour (it is designated Arp 214). Also in this image at the far left is NGC3756.
