This image shows a spiral galaxy located in the northwestern corner of Lynx.
Although there are no bright stars in the immediate vicinity, it lies 2.6 degrees northwest of 15 Lynx.
NGC2273, the galaxy seen at the upper left of the frame, has a size of just over 3 arcminutes and an apparent magnitude of about 12.
Strong emission-line spectra are observed from its nucleus, and it is classified as a type of Seyfert galaxy with an active bulge.
Its distance from the Milky Way is estimated to be about 95 million light-years.
The other faint barred spiral galaxy visible at the lower right of the frame is NGC2273B.
It is separated from NGC2273 by about 40 arcminutes on the sky, and together with NGC2273 it forms a small galaxy group.
