In this poster we illustrate how the Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner (APS) is being used to study the luminous stellar content of NGC 2403. Presented are a brief description of the APS, examples of photometric calibration, separation of stellar and non-stellar images, and a preliminary color-magnitude diagram. The eventual goal is to study the evolution of massive stars via color-magnitude diagrams, luminosity functions and star formation rates.
