On this page I collect my observations of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 2403 in the constellation Camelopardis.

Introduction

The barred spiral galaxy NGC 2403 in the constellation Camelopardis is regarded as one of the best galaxies for small telescopes. It remains unclear why Messier overlooked it. It is fairly impressive in the eVscope.

Size: 7' x 4' (Stoyan)
