NGC 2683 is (proably) a barred spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Lynx. It is viewed nearly edge-on and is located about 30 million light-years away. It was nicknamed the UFO Galaxy by the Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory.  It is surely another interesting object for the early spring nights..
