More from Leo: NGC2903 and M105

[661-pete]

Did 2903 on 14 April, a favourite SB galaxy of mine: this is 21 * 3 minutes * ISO1600: I'm not really very happy with the result, feel I ought to have made the central bar more prominent and brought out a bit more of the lovely symmetrical outer arms. But ah well! LP is encroaching on me even down in France!

M105 was a new one to me, though I've skirted round it before with other Leo galaxies. I suppose it's not all that often imaged seeing as it's a rather 'boring' smooth elliptical, but it makes a nice triplet with NGC3384 (elliptical at upper left) and NGC3389 (spiral at lower left). I suppose it ought to rank as the 'other' Leo Triplet! And there are plenty of faint fuzzies around the field, some of which I've captured. This one, on 16 April, was once again 21 * 3min.
