Galaxy NGC 2903
By Wade V. Corbei
Finally after what seemed like forever and a day, I started to digitize some sketches from earlier this month.
NGC 2903 is a nice looking Spiral Galaxy found in the constellation Leo…a constellation that holds many great galaxies; and NGC 2903 is no exception. This is a fairly large, bright galaxy that shows some structure of the arms and a bright core.
Unlike many fainter galaxies, NGC 2903 is easily spotted and observed without averted vision…but averted vision will allow for some finer details to emerge. Surrounded by a fairly rich starfield, NGC 2903 is a must-see for those looking for galaxies that present themselves as more than a faint fuzzy in the EP.
Wade,
This is an excellent sketch of a nice spiral galaxy. The foreground stars give this sketch great depth.
