Reddening-free (Wesenheit) PL relations for three levels of crowding in NGC 3447. The points in light gray are from HST measurements in F160W as given by R22. In blue are Cepheids observed with JWST F150W in the spiral host, and in red are those observed in the tidal host, NGC 3447A. All three samples yield consistent distance measures but with decreasing levels of PL noise.
