This is a 26 minute exposure of NGC 2903, a galaxy in Leo. It is the combination of 13 two minute exposures taken with a Meade LX200 8" F/6.3 telescope and a Cookbook 245 camera. The scope was unguided during any of the exposures. The exposure was taken at 3:30 UT on Feb 7. The images were corrected with a dark frame subtraction and a flat field correction applied. These images were then added together and log enhanced. The enhancment was intended to show detail in the center of the image.
