Description

The Statue of Libterty! .... and the uh... things? I don't know! I kind of think it looks like a cobra. So now it is the Statue of Liberty and Cobra.

A fun mosaic. NGC 3572 could really benefit from some more data, making the two match was quite a labor similar to the Dragon and the Egg mosaic I tackled earlier that had much much more integration on the Dragon (9 vs 55 hours in this case). Still a great duo though, and the NGC 3572 normally gets chopped off the frame. My favorite part is the bit coming off around 6 o'clock of NGC 3572. I thought I had accidentally clone stamp and smeared something, but no, just an amazing structure instead. 

Had a bit of fun with color scheme on this, didn't want another  Statue of Liberty with the same SHO color scheme that I had done in the past. Figured if I was going to mosaic it, might as well make the palette different as well. 

Clear skies!
