Description

NGC3718, The twisted galaxy gravitationally interacting with the lower NGC3729. On the right of NGC3718 is the Hickson group 56 (not gravitationally interacting with NGC3718 and are much further away - about 8 times away than NGC3718 ) 

I have been collecting  data on this for multiple days whenever it cleared up here however , I ran into multiple issues. I lost a lot of subs due to wind gusts  and I had a problem with my dust cover which was intruding into the light path causing flaring. The star colors arent great either but at this point I am calling it done to move on.

L -  120 x 15 minutes

R/G/B - 20 x 10 minutes per channel
