Bernard, the small galaxy grouping about 10' to the south is the compact
galaxy group Hickson 56 and consists of 5 galaxies from about 14th to 16th
mag. They make a beautiful addition to you excellent image.

Hi,
Here is an image of NGC3718 and its companion NGC3729. These two galaxies
orbit each other with a separation of about 147,000 light years. These two
galaxies are in Ursa Major. It seems most of the images on the web show this
galaxy as blue, but Excalibrator says this is the right color. I am not sure
why the other images are blue. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
