Galaxy NGC 2403

I have been away for a while and I thought I would check back in with this post of a late season NGC2403...

It was low in the sky on the evening in question (early June). I have attached a mid size thumbnail. A full size wide field image as well as exposure and processing details can be accessed at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/NGC2403.htm

Scope was my C8 at f/3.1 Camera was the Artemis285.

Exposure was 18:6:6:6 (L:R:G:B). six subframes each RGB was binned 2x2

While you are at my site you might look at another galaxy taken in early May (also a challenging low altitude object for my latitude) this image was taken with my ToUcam SC3 - it can be accessed here:

...falls short of the Artemis.

Thanks everyone for your comments - I appreciate them. Hopefully, if I get on it, I have a backlog of exposure data to process so I can post a few more images.
