Description

NGC 2683 is a spiral galaxy that is located in the constellation Lynx from our vantage point. Viewed nearly edge-on, it spans about 9.3' by 2.1'.

Data for this LRGB image were obtained in one evening of imaging. The seeing was very poor at first (4.5" FWHM), so RGB data were collected during this time. Later in the evening, the seeing settled down and eventually reached < 2.5", allowing collection of an hour of luminance subs.

Description: Here's a 2022 reprocess of this edge-on galaxy in Lynx without some of the sharpening artifacts the first version had. It's in position for imaging right now, so maybe it's time for you to image it too?
