Arp Peculiar Object Number 214 - Galaxy With Irregularity, Absorption, and Resolution
NGC 3718 (PGC 35616 = Arp 214)
Discovered (Apr 12, 1789) by William Herschel
An 11th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SBa? pec) in Ursa Major (RA 11 32 34.7, Dec +53 04 02) Gravitationally interacting with NGC 3729. Apparent size 8.1 by 4.0 arcmin? Used by the Arp Atlas as an example of a galaxy with irregularities, absorption, and resolution.

Image... Cherryvalley Observatory (I83). Telescope: 0.2-m SCT & SBIG STL-1301E CCD Camera @f7.6. Image Scale 2.17 arcsec/pixel, Field of View 46 x 37 arcmins.
Flat field and dark subtract calibration frames. Combined Stack of four images of 220 seconds each unfiltered and unbinned. CCD operating temperature: -42 degrees. Image acquisition and processing: CCD Soft v5, TheSky6 Professional and Mira Pro v7. December 27th 2014.
Dr. Halton Arp originally compiled the Atlas of peculiar galaxies with photographs he made mainly using the Palomar 200-inch telescope and the 48-inch Schmidt telescope between the years 1961 to 1966. Original image can be found here: ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Arp/Figures/big_arp214.jpeg
