IC 342 is a good test of a observing site, but also a good test
of your finding skills if you are not a G0-To user. Have observed
this object in a number of instruments, but some of the best were
in wide-field instruments such as 6" Houghton Cassegrain f4 with a
32 Erfle, 6" Meade SN6, 6" refractor (AP) and also 25x150 Fujinon
Binoculars. With larger scopes, more detail is seen , but I find
that after 12" is passed, this object looks remarkably the same
at any aperture up to 30". The Fornax and Sculptor Dwarf galaxies
are good site tests also.
