NGC3718 and NGC3729 are two beautiful galaxies that are located in the Ursa Major constellation. The peculiar S-shape of NGC3718's arms is thought to be due to gravitational interaction with its smaller companion, NGC3729. Both galaxies are classified as barred spiral galaxies, but as you can see in the image, their appearance does not correspond to the designation. One of the striking features of NGC3718 is the twisted dust lane that crosses the galaxy's core. Another interesting object is seen in this image just above NGC3718. This is a smaller interactive group of 5 galaxies called the Hickson 56 group. This group is much, much further away from us and is about 7 times farther away than the galaxies NGC3718 and NGC3729, which are approximately 52 million light-years away. This field harbors even smaller and fainter galaxies. I have lost count of how many of them are seen in this image. There are literally dozens of galaxies.

It has been acquired from the remote observatory Deep Sky West in Rowe New Mexico, where my dear friends and fellow fans Jim Y Linda Powell has hosted and pilot a great team.
Thank you very much, dear friends.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
