All,<BR>

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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
Just wanted to share.<BR>
