Amy Meadows NGC 3718

History Discovered by William Herschel in April 1789 Located in the Big Dipper “What a strange galaxy. There is not much information about this galaxy in the astronomical literature.” -http://www.noao.edu/outreach/aop/observers/n3718.html

NGC 3718 Facts Magnitude: 11.5 RA: 11h 32m 35.57s Dec: +53˚ 03’ 59” Barrel Spiral Galaxy (S-shaped) Known as “peculiar” or “warped” 52,000,000 light-years away from Earth It is believed the galaxy interacting gravitationally with it is NGC 3729 ~150,000 light-years apart

Hickson Group 56 400 million light-years away from us Group of 5 galaxies 4 of them interacting

Reason for Choosing Originally wanted to do ESO 510-13 http://lempel.pagesperso-orange.fr/bizarre_une_galaxie_gauche_uk.htm

Telescope 20” Cassegrain STL SBIG Large Format Camera 5- 3 min darks 10- 3 min red, green, blue filter 15- 3 min unfiltered

CCD Soft Reduce Align Combine

+ RED GREEN BLUE + + = UNFILTERED
