IC342
A spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis.
It goes by the nickname of the Hidden galaxy as it's a very difficult target for visual and for photography. This is due to it lying pretty much in the same line of sight as the Milky Way and all it's bright stars and dust lanes. Except IC342 which is about 11 million light years further on.
Boring techie bit:
Skywatcher Quattro 8" Newtonian Reflector steel tube with the f4 aplanatic coma corrector, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, Altair Starwave 50mm guide scope, ZWO asi120mm guide camera mini, ZWO asi533mc pro cooled to -10c gain 100, Optolong L'enhance 2" filter, ZWO asiair plus.
