Thanks for sharing Steve. It isn't a galaxy I'm familiar with so I just looked it up in Wikipedia. It seems you captured Hickson Compact Groups 56 to the left of NGC 3718

 

HCG 56 is a compact group of galaxies of which 4 members are interacting with each other. This group is about 120 Mpc distant to our galaxy, which is about 8 times more distant than NGC 3718.
