Description

This galaxy is located just above the disk plane of the Milky Way. This means that we are looking through much of our own galaxy to see this much more distant galaxy. Because of this, the light from IC 342 is dimmed tenfold by our galaxy's interstellar material. For this reason, it is often called the "Hidden Galaxy". A real challenge!
