NGC2403 First Attempt @ G2V

[DugDog]

This is LRGB using Parsec 8300M, each exposure was 20 minutes, 12*Lum, 6 each of RGB, EON120. Hopefully, I'll get better at galaxies soon. I've never had good luck with them.

NGC2403 is a hop, skip, and jump from earth @ 12 Million Light Years.

My G2V results weren't dramatically different, but maybe that's what I needed. I still suffer on my star color balance.

Orion RGB Filters, EON 120, and Parsec 8300M G2V Results:

RED = 1.20

Green = 1.00

Blue = 1.07

Looks nice

Very nice!

Looks like a nice balance of colours to me... nice galaxy too! Did you use a star within this image (if so, which one and where did you find a detailed catalog of G2V stars?) or do you take a separate image of a well known one?

Good work with the G2V balancing, and a lovely pic. This NGC2403 is getting popular.

Thanks!

Lewis, I took the G2V star last month. I found this link very useful:

I used 20 LMI
