NGC 2903 is a barred spiral galaxy that is similar to the Milky Way. It is located 25 million light years away in the constellation of Leo. It was first observed by William Herschel on 16 November 1784.

I previously presented data collected between 13 March and 4 May 2019 from an imaging rig in Spain privately-owned and remotely-operated by Barry Wilson and me (NGC 2903 - a barred spiral galaxy in Leo). In April 2019, I also obtained some data from a dual TEC 140 rig at Olly Penrice's Les Granges facility in the Haut-Alpes.

The imaging team in France is: Olly Penrice; Tom O'Donoghue; Elisabeth Milne; and Steve Milne.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
