Description

NGC 2903 is a barred-spiral galaxy. Its distance is 30 million light years and its size is approximately 80000 light years. Even though there are two full Hubble images of it, I could find only little of import about it in the literature. Many images show the central bar very prominently. And while I can see it in the raw data I gathered, it is a lot more subdued than I expected and I kept this through processing. Shot between cloudy, I think this didn't turn out too bad.
