Description

NGC 3576, often referred to as the Statue of Liberty Nebula, is approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth. On the right side you can see the shape resembling the famous Statue of Liberty. Within the nebula, star formation is thought to contribute to the complex and suggestive shapes. Powerful winds from the nebula's embedded, young, massive stars shape the looping filaments.

About the Object:

This image is a two-panel mosaic, shot only using a Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) filter. A total of 6 hours of data was collected to make this image. Stars were removed using StarNet++

Decided to have try something different with this object and instead of just having it as a standard black and white starless image, I decided to invert it. Please see the black and white version: Ringing Through the Darkness: |Black&White|
