NGC 2403 - a spiral galaxy in Camelopardalis

I am really impressed with the details that this galaxy revealed.

All started back in February 2020 when I first imaged this galaxy. Back then I turned my C6 with Hyperstar to this target and acquired 2 hours and a half. I could see a nice blob and was very happy

Now I decided to come back with my EdgeHD 9.25 but only use this target as an initial one while waiting for other galaxies to rise.

I managed to acquire 9 hours of data. But when I stacked it and began to process it - WOW! This galaxy shows a lot of details! I am truly fascinated by the structured and I am a bit sorry that I didn't dedicate the whole three nights to this target.

Nevertheless I don't know whether this will happen this year or next year but I will gather a lot of data and process again.

Till then - here is my current result. A nice spiral that resembles the famous M33 in its form and structure.

NGC 2403 has a size on the night sky of 19.9 x 10.1 archmin and is situated about 10 million light years from us.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
