Scientific paper

An attempt was made to estimate the reddening for the galaxy IC 342 on the basis of CCD BV photometry obtained for 117 stars brighter than V = 22.0 mag in a field centered near a spiral arm. At V = 19.4 mag, the plume of the main sequence and slightly evolved blue supergiant stars were detected. The plume is centered at a color of (B-V) = 0.54 mag. A comparison with similar color-magnitude-diagram data for the brightest stars in IC 1613 suggests that these stars in IC 342 are reddened by E(B-V) = 0.79 +/- 0.05 mag (AB = 3.32 +/- 0.21 mag).
