Description

This image is the sum of 332 60 secs unguided subs taken during the night of the 31st of May 2022. Setup was Newton Orion USA 250 F 3.9, Omegon coma corrector, QHY268m, Primalucelab uhc filter on top of a Ioptron CEM60EC. Aquisition, stacking and processing with Astroart 8. No darks used. 8 Flats. Very limited processing. Only some deconvultion to correct stars elongation. Elongation happened due to some wind coming between 2 to 3 am (images in that hour had elongated stars).

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)
