Description:

04/11/2023 Last night we had the first “Good-Excellent Seeing” I’ve seen in several months. I was lucky enough to get 2 nights of “clear” skies this week but with “Poor Seeing”, so having a third night with better “Seeing” conditions was a great bonus! I targeted NGC 2403, due to its sky location at my site, being away from the surrounding streetlights. I’m amazed at the quality of the image versus all my “Poor Seeing” night images. I wish we had more of these above average seeing nights! _________________________________________________________________ 04/10/2023 NGC 2403 Distance, 8 million light years away. 700x10 second subs (depending on target) 50 Flats 50 Dark Flats 30 Darks Captured with NINA Processed PixInsight, BlurXTerminator, StarXterminator, Affinity Photo, Photoshop, Topaz.
