Description

Spiral Galaxy NCG 2403 (Caldwell 7) is one large bright object at a distance of 12 million light-years in the faint constellation "giraffe" which lies in the same galaxy group as the better known M81 and M82 galaxies. A beauty in my mind.

It took a while, because weather and clouds seem to have a bit of fun with our neck of the woods. So this is more or less first light this year. After some fiddling with collimation we had somewhat 1.5 nights. Hope you like it. Critic and comments are very welcome! Thank you!
