On this page I collect my observations of the galaxy IC 342 (Hidden Galaxy) in the constellation Camelopardis.
The galaxy IC 342 (Hidden Galaxy) in the constellation Camelopardis is ocated relatively close to the Milky Way. Despite its size and actual brightness, its location behind dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe, leading to the nickname "The Hidden Galaxy", though it can readily be detected even with binoculars.
