Description

Five 243 second live stacks using 3 second subs were used to produce this image of fabulous NGC 2403. I used a light pollution filter, but it wasn't enough to help pull out the outer arms very well. A dark sky is really needed for that.

The seeing was great, so I was able to image at 0.5 arc seconds per pixel and get a lot of detail in the core, especially around the red HII regions, the blue O-B associations and the granular dust clouds. There are some artifacts from removing some of the residual noise from light pollution in the dust clouds, but overall, I think I am happy with this result.
