Description

NGC 3576 is a nebula which drifts through the Sagittarius arm of our galaxy and is located about 9,000 light years from our homebase. A popular nickname is "The Statue of Liberty Nebula" because of the distinctive shape in the middle of the nebula. Within the region, episodes of star formation are thought to contribute to the complex suggestive shapes. To get such a beautiful bicolor palette (I processed it, so I very much like it ;), H-alpha (Hα) & O-III (Oxygen III) filters were used. While processing it, I focused mainly on the core so that the distinctive shape resembling to the very well-known symbol of liberty is clearly noticeable.
