The winds were pretty heavy tonight (15mph+ gusts), but I managed 5 20-minute exposures of NGC3718 anyway. The stars were badly trailed from the wind (about 4-5 pixels worth), so I had to perform surgery to trim them. This do doubt reduced the level of detail on NGC3718, but I'm still pleased to get an image of this one at all.
