Description

First data acquisition from darker skies. It's simply amazing how easier and harder is to work with this type of data for the first time. This is also my first collaboration, @James Ballentine and me drove 90 mins towards the mountains, away from the city lights. After a bunch of botched attempts at polar align, focus, and guiding we settle on an object to capture.

NGC 3576, also known as The Statue of Liberty nebula, is located  in the Carina constelation, close to the z Car star.

For processing, I'm currently trying to learn the Foraxx palette by @thecoldestnights following the excellent videos by @Paul Hancock on the subject.
