imaged NGC 3003 (Halifax)

BGO imaged NGC 3003 for me. A small, very faint edge-on galaxy in Leo Minor. One of the RASC Finest NGCs.

Luminance only, 60 seconds subexposures, 10 stacked shots. FITS Liberator, Paint.NET. North is up; east is left.

I found it challenging coaxing out more detail. Perhaps I should reshoot...

There are lots of little fuzzies in this image. SkyTools 3 Pro only identifies a couple...

To the north, LEDA 2033338.

To the north-west, LEDA 2034047 and LEDA 2033968.

To the south-east, LEDA 2029405.

To the east, LEDA 2032276.

Tried again on 4 March but the results were worse.
