Arp 214 • NGC 3718
Arp 214 corresponds to NGC 3718, a warped spiral galaxy with a strongly distorted dust lane and tidal interactions with nearby NGC 3729.
Challenge: Observing the long tails N and S, absorption phenomena and widely flared loops.
Actually, my telescope is not suitable for these small objects. But I have to make do with it, and I am not disappointed with the result.
