Description

An RGB of IC 342. The L channel was a synthetic channel.

IC 342 is a galaxy in the Maffei Group of galaxies, a group close to the local group. It is close to the galactic equator located in Camelopardalis,hence can be a bit difficult to observe. The dust of the Milky Way will give this a yellow cast, so it takes a little processing to bring out the blue stars in the arms.
