Description

Clear moonless nights are pretty rare so even with very poor seeing it seemed worth a shot at a broad-band target for a change. Swings and roundabouts with the seasons now means long nights when they do cooperate.

The galaxy IC-342 is clear of the worst light pollution so seemed like a decent target. The poor seeing dissuaded me from switching away from the reducer.

23x 600s Lum 1x1

RGB binned 2x2

It's pretty red for a galaxy but I did do a star-colour calibration so it would seem to be representative in this case.
