| Comment : | A new attempt at a night without the Moon. I really need my bigger refractor for this object. There ore other objects, even smaller to examine in the full resolution image. Have a look here at the plate solved image: NGC 2403 Astrometry plate solved. |

| Comment : | Last September the spiral galaxy NGC 2403 was in correct position for a photo. It's an outlaying member to the M81 group. It's a small galaxy for my wide angle optic of 300 mm. |
