NGC2403

#1

Post by UlteriorModem »


NGC2403 an 'intermediate' spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is pretty small in the eyepiece.

This is not the best set of data. Lots of pollution noise and yet another image hosed by the smootz on the camera glass. But I thought I would post it anyhow :D

Regardless of the issues, it is still a very nice image Tom. I am happy to see some images of this fine galaxy. I noticed you did capture the emission nebula and open cluster in the galaxy, NGC 2404 as well!, which I circled on your image.

Interesting, thanks! I also heard that there have been a few supernovas in this galaxy.

My understanding is that it does have a large population of massive stars, which should in turn lead to increased occurrences of SNe. From my reading there seems to have been a fairly frequent occurrence of both supernovae and novae in the galaxy over the decades.
