Description

NGC3579 Widefield in the Hubble Palette. Taken from Brisbane, Australia under Bortle 6 skies. Shot with a William Optic ZenithStar 61 scope on an HEQ5 Pro mount and a ZWO ASI1600MM Pro camera. Using 7nm Sulphur, Hydrogen and Oxygen emission filters. Shot across 4 nights between 11th and 20th of April from Brisbane Australia. Total integration time is just under 10 hours due to the limited view I have from my yard of this target.  

NGC 3576 is a bright emission nebula in the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy a few thousand light-years away from the Eta Carinae nebula. It is also approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth.[3] This nebula even received six different classification numbers. Currently, astronomers call the entire nebula NGC 3576. A popular nickname is "The Statue of Liberty Nebula" because of the distinctive shape in the middle of the nebula. Discovered by John Frederick William Herschel on 16 March 1834.[4] The name was first suggested in 2009 by Dr. Steve Mazlin, a member of Star Shadows Remote Observatory (SSRO).[5] 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.[6]
