IC342, the gost galaxy

It is a large and faint galaxy in Camelopardalis. She is drowned in the Milky Way which obscures her with its own dust and gas.

Many stars in our galaxy are superimposed on this beautiful object.

It is particularly extensive; we manage to find small densities of arms, sometimes with HII regions, quite far from the central zone.

Small anonymous galaxies are also visible in the field

C'est une grande galaxie très peu lumineuse vue de face dans la constellation de la girafe (Camelopardalis). Elle noyée dans la voie lactée qui de ce fait l'obscurcit avec ses propres poussières et ses nuages de gaz. On voit bien les nombreuses étoiles de la Voie lactée qui se superposent par dessus.

Elle est relativement étendue ; on peut distinguer de petites zones appartenant aux bras spiraux assez loin de la galaxie proprement dite. On voit même quelques régions HII qui semblent perdues au milieu de nulle part.

De petites galaxies toutes fines sont aussi visibles dans ce champ

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
