NGC 2403, a beautiful intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis, captured with my Seestar S50 smart scope. Total integration is around 47h, with a mix of 10s, 20s, and 30s exposures. The total data gathered was around 60h, but after using the Subframe Selector process in Pixinsight, I was able to filter all the subframes by FWHM, Median, star count, and Eccentricity, which removed 13h of lower-quality frames.

This galaxy is often mistaken for the M33 Triangulum galaxy, due to its very similar look. But it is visibly quite smaller than M33.

Data was stacked and processed exclusively in Pixinsight.

I tried to do my best with this small scope for details, but lets face it, the Seestar is no EdgeHD 😁
