IC 342 Hidden Galaxy

[KyleStoke]

Hi 

This is my first attempt with the ASI1600, probably not the best target as the galaxy is relatively faint. 

Lum 154 x 180

Blue 62 x180

Red 48 x 180

Green 30 x 180 

Had a surprisingly large amount of issues and had to throw away a couple hundred frames due to poor star shape

I think I heard this is very faint and difficult to capture, so well done.

Cheers Carole I think I underestimated how faint it was. Even with all the subs it needed quite harsh stretching. Moon probably didn't help much either

Yes this one is very difficult, at least I really struggled to bring much out of my data when I shot it. 

Well done.

Nice capture, the Hidden Galaxy is aptly named.
