NGC2903 Barred Spiral Galaxy

[mackiedlm]

Another from the easter week-ends unprecedented 3 clear nights.

Again with the 8" LX200 @f6.3 on its wedge and the Canon EOS700D 50 X 180s

The good old coma showing through on this one again despite the crop but I can live with it as its the only large FL I have.

I really like the colour you've brought out in the galaxy.

Redone to darken background as when i looked on my main screen it was too grey.

Great images there, background level was acceptable to me in the first, but the second is nicer.

Lovely images 👍

What's the faint fuzzy to the left?

Thanks for that. The faint Fuzzy is (I believe) UGC5086 which is a dwarf elliptical - I'm not sure if it is technically a "satellite" or not.

🤣 your welcome! It was a good exercise for me as its something I've never done before but Alladin/Simbad made it  pretty easy.

Great image but my preference would be half way between the first and second images in terms of background black point!!

Nice and sharp galactic details with well balanced colours. No noticeable noise, well done.
