NGC 2403

[tomato]

I took some test subs of this galaxy last night with the dual ED 150 rig, checking for flex/sag on the second scope. Not exactly a deep image, but the subs were Ok so I thought I would process them. I did a major goof on the camera alignment, got them out by 90 deg, so the image is cropped significantly.

Lum 16 x 300 sec with Esprit 150, G2-8300

RGB, 5 X300, 5 x 300 4 x 300 sec with Esprit 150, Atik 383

Calibrated and processed with APP, finished in GIMP.

Thanks for looking

Cracking image and congratulations to you and Tomatobro on getting the dual rig running

Looks similar but isn’t.. it’s a member of M81/M82 group

Learn something new everyday!  Had a look at the picture and assumed it was M33!

Yes, M33 fills the sensor on this configuration as evidenced by this image taken with the single 150 rig, but they do appear remarkably similar.

Indeed they do..  similar in absolute size too with lots of HII regions.  But about 3 times further away
