The Red Galaxy

Gregg Ruppel
Hi all:
IC 342 is a large face-on spiral that would appear much brighter if if didn't lie in the galactic plane. Intervening dust makes IC 342 appear somewhat red: http://www.greggsastronomy.com/IMAGES/ic342-LRGB.jpg LRGB, 18 hours total exposure from Dark Sky New Mexico -- Clear skies, Gregg Visit my astronomy & astrophotography site http://www.greggsastronomy.com/

Great shot, Gregg.

Dr. Wikipedia says that this galaxy would be visible to the naked eye if it weren't for that intervening dust. That amazes me. Brian

Nice Gregg. It is tough to pull detail out of this one due to all the dust in the way.
