Description

I finally had the right atmospheric conditions to capture the color images and bring them back to the Ha image posted here : https://astrob.in/340859/0/

This image contains some very interesting objects.

NGC 3576, nicknamed the Statue of Liberty, is a very broad emission nebula, about 100 light-years away, and is distant around 9,000 light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation Carina.

Hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen are energized by intense ultraviolet radiation. NGC 3576 contains scattered small and very dense dark nebulae known as "Bok Globules".

NGC 3603 is even further away from us, around 20,000 light-years away from the Solar System. It is a massive HII region containing a very compact open cluster.

NGC 3572 is a cluster of young stars located in a spectacular environment made of gas and dust sculpted by solar winds in the form of arches, bubbles or elephant's trunks.
