Description

IC342, the Hidden Galaxy.  Such a frustrating object, being almost obliterated by stars. In this total rebuild from old data (HaLRGB, TEC 140, Atik 460 I made lavish use of Russel Croman's Blur XT, Noiise XT and StarXT. Now we can see the galaxy properly we can see how to reveal it better. It was de-starred and, at the end, re-starred with just the RGB stars which were given the mildest stretch.
