Statue of Liberty Nebula!
Statue of Liberty Nebula! Got a little bored with the bad weather and given this target is southern hemisphere. I figured I’d give it a go. This is NGC 3576 or the Statue of Liberty Nebula. The original data was from Telescope Live and was processed by me. It’s about 1 hour and 40 minutes under dark skies and was a heck of a lot of fun to process! However the core was a bit tough and I think it’s still a bit blown out. Still really fun to process and i think this target looks really cool! I used a foraxx palette for the color combination which turned out really nice in my opinion.
