Among the many deep-sky objects that I observed on this cold and unsteady night was the 8.9 magnitude spiral galaxy NGC 2403. This slightly elongated, face-on H400 galaxy is situated between two fairly bright field stars and spans some 16.8'x10.0'. NGC 2403 appeared as a large, diffuse, and somewhat oval glow. I used magnifications of 118, 202, and 259x.
