Description

IC 342 is a difficult target. It's pretty dim, and obscured by stellar dust. I put a lot of hours into this one, so I hope it shows. It came out really nice. I had previously shot this on a 6" scope but never published it because processing it left a little to be desired. So I'm glad I revisited. One day I'll image this from a dark site and really do it justice.
