Description

While gathering data on NGC 3572, NGC 3576 happened to be in frame. So after gathering 14 hours on my main target it meant I could get a two for one. This is the product of 19 hours of exposure when combined with the 6 hours I already had. This is by far my deepest integration to date. Processed in PixInsight.

The FWHM of all the SII data higher than the Ha and OIII data, which I think may be why the stars look so weird. Hopefully I can add some RGB stars in the future.
