[LVAS] NGC-2683

[roger ivester]

All,

 

Galaxy NGC-2683 in Lynx has always been a favorite of mine. Unfortunately all of my observations of this galaxy has been with my 10-inch reflector. I am hopeful that I can observe it with my 4-inch refractor this Spring.

 

It was included in the most recent S&T "Deep-Sky Wonders" by Sue French. I have included my notes and a rough field sketch of this beautiful galaxy.

 

Just wanted to share.
