Here is a deep image of NGC 3718 this was one of the best 2 nights of seeing that I can remember. I took all the luminance data on those nights.
Aladin Sky Atlas cataloged over 5000 gal down to under 24th magnitude.

you can see a larger image here: http://www.btlguce.com/page83.html
Thank you,

Mark

Wow-wow-wow, what an image, Mark!

I've never seen the outer arms of NGC 3718 captured in such detail! And, in the larger version of your image, look at that starforming ring of NGC 3729, too.

Wonderful!!!

I wanted to bring out the structure so I just used the F814W/F550M/F435W filter data.

Mars on opposition to the Sun, on April 9th, 03:58ut. below average conditions.Olympus Mons is very visible and possibly the crater itself low oragraphic clouds are less in this region on this time period. Now within 6 days to its close approach to Earth. (Equipment: LX200ACF 12 in. OTA, CGE mount, Flea3 Ccd, TeleVue 3x barlows, Astronomik RGB filter set.)

Can Your Find Mars? (Hint: It is at Opposition) by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

Ninety-four 30 second exposures were taken with a Canon T2i and a Canon 8-15L mm lens and stacked in StarStaX (8mm / 400 ISO / f/4.5). It was a beautiful sight to see Mars, Jupiter and the moon in a Pennsylvania farm field on this cool spring evening.
