NGC 2403 - Modern Process of 2020 DSLR Dataset

This is the last of my 2019-2020 dslr captures from my beginning days (nights) of AP.
I have been in a weather slump of recent and have been going through the old data to find images that had the chance of improvement and also of targets that I had not included in my AB library.

I was really disappointed in the results after processing this data in 2020. This is one of my longest integration's at the time at 5:36 (over two nights and I had the flu!).

This data was calibrated with flats and darks “borrowed” from other datasets.
There were remaining circular gradients that I didn’t have much success removing with GraXpert or DBE, so I used the good old CloneStamp tool. Crude, but effective.

Like my last dslr repro, the Monkey’s Head, the 240 second stars were super-duper blown out and the brighter ones were badly distorted. Totally expected in a 240 second light with no filter (I believe that LifePixel installed a uv/ir cut filter when the Nikon was modified).
I cleaned the stars up as best as I could.

Definitely a marginal image, but it is okay and my only capture so far of NGC 2403.

Comments and critiques are very welcome!

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.
