Description

Spectacular head-on spiral galaxy IC342, aka The Hidden Galaxy, in Camelopardalis constellation. One of larger in apparent size, but also faint galaxies.

Only managed 146 x 4 min, wanted 200-250 based on previous experience. However, the version that I first binned to 71% in Startools, came out quite ok even with such low total exposure (it's a slow system due to small pixels).
Imaged from September 2021 to February 2022.
