Description

385 60 unguided subs taken on the night of the 27 september 2016.

This image was taken with the QHY8L in a bin2 mode. So result was like a mono image. I have not taken many images with this setup, and I have found this one while checking an old external HD. I don't even remembar if the RC 8 was at native F8 or with reducer. Probably F8.

Aquisition with Astroart 5 or 6, processing with Astroart 8 (crop, gradient removal, star elongation, low pass and deconvultion). No darks and flat were used for this image. I think stars are a little bit bloated, but image is not that bad.

NGC 2403 (also known as Caldwell 7) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is an outlying member of the M81 Group, and is approximately 8 million light-years distant. It bears a similarity to M33, being about 50,000 light years in diameter and containing numerous star-forming H II regions. The northern spiral arm connects it to the star forming region NGC 2404. NGC 2403 can be observed using 10×50 binoculars. NGC 2404 is 940 light-years in diameter, making it one of the largest known H II regions. This H II region represents striking similarity with NGC 604 in M33, both in size and location in galaxy (wikipedia)
