Description

This is an image of NGC 2683, the UFO Galaxy, taken from my backyard at the New Mexico Astronomy Village near Deming, New Mexico. It consists of twelve 300-second exposures each through RGB filters. It was taken through a Stellarvue SVX180T refractor telescope with a ZWO ASI6200MM camera. It has been cropped to highlight the galaxy. It is called the UFO Galaxy because it resembles a flying saucer with its top represented by the bulge in the center of the galaxy extending towards the lower left.
