Description

Another wonder of the southern skies, 9000 light years distant, The Statue of Liberty nebula's shapes are formed by stellar winds from stars born in dark, dusty regions of space.

As young stars start to shine and disperse their surrounding cocoons they create swirling clouds of gas. 20hrs exposure, six nights using three narrowband spectrum filters.

HST colour palatte (tweaked a bit) from Melbourne, Australia.

My first 30min subs!
