Description

If it were anywhere else in the sky, IC342 would be naked-eye visible, being "only" 10 million light-years away. But, the outer edges of the disk of the Milky Way lie between us and it, making it difficult to observe.

I managed to get some Hydrogen-alpha on it as well, over a rare run of clear nights around a new moon in central Florida.
