Here's about 2.5 hours worth of exposure on the large but dim galaxy NGC 2403 in Camelopardalis. It still needs a lot more exposure, and in darker skies, but I'm pretty pleased with what I got. The supernova that appeared last year is still quite visible, though I leave it as an exercise to the viewer to locate it.
