NGC2403.

The following image was made during the night of 19-20 April 2001 from Montlaux in southern France. Equipment used was a SBIG ST-8 + Takahashi CN212 (D=212 mm) working at f/9.9. The telescope was mounted on a Vixen Atlux mount.

Binning 1x1, exposure time was 1 x 900 s = 45 minutes at -20°C CCD temperature. Seeing was reasonable FWHM about 3.6". I could only manage one image between the clouds.

Image taken with CCDOPS for Win95, IP with CCDOPS, AstroArt and Photoshop.
