Description

I found this target completely by accident while trolling around Stellarium looking for something to image in the northern skies with my 8" EdgeHD. I had gotten some time on the Owl Nebula, but really wanted to do galaxies. Lots of images of the Owl and Surfboard together, and I did consider doing the Surfboard as a standalone. However, as I was looking around, I happened upon NGC3718 and knew immediately it was going to be my target. Reminds me a bit of Centaurus A with the dark central band structure. I really tried to bring out as much of the outer regions as I could.
