[LVAS] NGC-2683

[Fred Rayworth]

Roger,

 

As usual, an outstanding sketch.

 

I saw it once in 2005 with my home-built 16" f/6.4.

Very faint streak next to a star. Faint but with slight mottling.

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.
