This is a faint galaxy with a strange name, IC342. It was taken the evening of October 20th, 2008 in one of my friend Sheldon's observatories in NW Illinois using an eight inch newtonian reflector and an SBIG ST10 CCD camera. The galaxy is in the constellation Camelopardalis, but is very near my wife's star in the constellation Cassiopeia. Thanks go to Sean Walker for the wonderful processing of the image files.
