Description

I was not completely satisfied with my image last year, taken with DSLR. So I decided to acquire some data with the ASI 1600 MMC. The clear skies of the last weaks turned out to be a little bit disappointing because of the extraordinary bad seeing in at least two out of five nights. These data have to be deleted to obtain the desired quality. The time for reproccesing isn't endless, but the luminance data produce slightly elongated stars. I hope I will fix it soon.

IC342 is well known as the "hidden galaxy" because of its location behind stars, clouds etc. of our own galaxy. Especially light of shorter wavelenght is absorbed or scattered along its way to earth. Therefore, IC342 appear in characteristic reddish and yellow colors.
