NGC 4203 -- Lenticular Galaxy in Coma Berenices
The small circular Lenticular Galaxy, NGC 4203, showed little detail in the 155mm
refractor except for a bright core. A super massive black hole exists at the center of
this galaxy, so the brighter core was expected.
This was my last galaxy for the night. NGC 4203 was slowly dissolving in the eyepiece
towards the end of the observing period from the increasing sky-glow of the gibbous
moon that would soon clear the trees on my eastern horizon. But I had done well this
evening finding all the galaxies I had planned to. It was an evening well spent.
