Here's a great barred spiral galaxy NGC 2903 in Leo. This image represents about 2.2 hours of total exposure. A couple other little galaxies occupy this field as well, notably NGC 2916 and the very dim smudge of PGC 27115.



Comments appreciated!

Nicely done, Don. The colors look perfect. That Digital Rebel looks like a good match for the Sky 90. You have a lot of the extended nebulosity there with no noise.
