I observed a delicate spider like structure to this galaxy. PGC213387 lies just to the right at mag 17.5. I feel I could have got much more detail of the beautiful spiral with better seeing - one to try again on a better night.

NGC3718 (top) & 3729 (bottom) plus a nice little group of 4 galaxies to the top right. NGC3718 is also listed as peculiar galaxy ARP214 and the small group is Hickson 56. All galaxies wonderfully framed and a lovely sight:

This has a nice spiral structure which I didn't manage to bring out very well, but there is a nice cluster of galaxies to the bottom right and a number faint galaxies to the top left.
