Description

NGC 3576 - The Statue of Liberty Nebula (Carina-Sagittarius Arm).

Episodes of recent star formation contribute to the complex suggestive shapes. Strong solar winds from the nebula’s young embedded stars create the filaments while hydrogen, sulphur, and oxygen are energized by ultraviolet radiation causing the nebula to emit in the wavelengths below. The strongest signal comes from Ha hence the green false colour hue.

Hubble Pallet (RGB = SHO).

ZWO 7nm Ha - 13 x 5 mins, -10C, G139

ZWO 7nm OIII - 13 x 5 mins, -10C, G139

ZWO 7nm SII - 13 x 5 mins, -10C, G139



ASI1600mm Pro on SW200/f5 (3 hours 15 mins total exposure). Will try and add more exposure to this soon when I get a clear night, so a work in progress.

This is a trial with Astro Pixel Processor (it certainly saves headaches with using PS for aligning the RGB channels !).
