Hello 

This is my version of NGC 2903.  This is the first non-messier galaxy i found when i started observing back in 1992, when i was living in the peak district. How did messier miss this one? 

Telescope - 102mm APO ES refractor on a AVX mount

Camera- Canon 70d unmoded iso800 with a IDAS-D2 filter.  

Duration  5 hours - 300s lights., Darks, flats and bias frames also taken

Guided with PHD2 and processed in PS

Cheers

Ooo nice to see what it is. I caught it on a wide field shot. Looks good zooming in.
