Twice this weekend I observed NGC 2683 in Lynx. Its fairly bright, large, and elongated. Any galaxy that I can see from 4th mag city skies is a showpiece!

The northernmost part of Cancer contains a bright group of stars, the Sigmas. NGC 2683 is just northwest of these in Lynx.

Very good object, indeed! For some reason it is often neglected. A recommended galaxy for those who want so see something new.
