Description

If NGC2403 is the Harbinger of the galaxy season to come NGC2903 is the mile-stone firmly indicating the way to those galaxies, being the first galaxy of some description in Leo thus opening up to the wealth of galaxies included in the triangle formed by Leo, Virgo and Canis Venatici, with the massive clusters of Coma framed in between .

Started this rather earlier in 2005 (not enough SNR) and then again in 2007 and 2008 when I called it a day.
