Description

NGC 3718 is a galaxy locates in the Constellation of Ursa Major, approximately 52 million light years from Earth. It has an interesting appearance with a twisted look, emphasized by a dark band right cross the galaxy.

I really wanted to highlight the illuminated clouds around the galaxy, as well as some details within the dark band; however in general I really struggle with those "small-ish" galaxies...
