Description

NGC 3582 is a bright emission nebula in the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy It is also approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth. A popular nickname is "The Statue of Liberty Nebula" because of the distinctive shape in the middle of the nebula. Within the nebula, episodes of star formation are thought to contribute to the complex and suggestive shapes. Powerful winds from the nebula's embedded, young, massive stars shape the looping filaments.

This a work in progress as it is one of my favorites. But I thought I would post my intermediate work. It is not visible from the northern hemisphere where I live. There are so many beautiful objects in the southern hemisphere. So I used a remote 17” telescope in Australia to record the sub images and need to collect at least 25 more subs.
