Description

NGC 2903 is a bright, barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo. Lying approximately 30M LY distant, it was my first target of the 2023 galaxy season. It was imaged over two consecutive nights with an EdgeHD 11 riding unguided on a Paramount MX+.  The Celestron reducer for this scope gives me blue flaring on bright stars so I shot at an unreduced f10.
