Description

IC 342, the Hidden Galaxy in Camelopardalis, was shot in RGB with 300s subs. The scope was an Esprit 150 coupled with an Atik 16200 monochrome camera at -20C. Astronomik filters were used to collect RGB=55:59:48=162 total 300s subs collected November 16-17, 2020. The luminance channel has proven challenging to collect and process due to light pollution so I elected to simply collect RGB and construct luminance from a combination of the three channels using star tools.
