Abstract
The nucleus of NGC 2903 is identified on near infrared photographs. The energy distribution of this nucleus in the visual region of the spectrum is estimated from available observations. The continuum compares well with the nuclei of Seyfert galaxies, but is weaker by one to two orders of magnitude.
