Beautiful. At 38x the galaxy was visible as a large, homogeneous glow with no sign of a spiral structure. I was surprised at the size of the object.

Despite high clouds we were able to do a little deep-sky observing on 4/29 (4/30 UT). Through some occasional sucker holes we observed the ninth magnitude spiral galaxy NGC 2093 south of Lambda Leonis. This Herschel 400 object is fairly large and elongated (11.0' x 4.6'). We used a 40mm Orion UltraScan (127x), a 32mm Tele Vue Wide Field and a 27mm Tele Vue Panoptic (188x) to view NGC 2903. We also viewed the "Leo Trio" of M65, M66 and NGC 3628 using the 27mm, which produced quite excellent images of these spiral galaxies.
