3/20/2014 3:38:26 PM NGC 2903 is a barred spiral galaxy located in Leo about 20 mly away. Within the galaxy is a bright steller cloud designated NGC 2905 - just North of the core (North is left). I collected less than 2 hours each for the RGB filters and about 2.5 hours of luminance data before encountering adverse seeing conditions. This image is a first test for the adaptive optics and I hope to improve after making some adjustments.
