Statue of Liberty Nebula aka NGC3576

[lazjen (Chris)]

My first target with the new ASI2600MM camera. This was 2 nights of data from late March, just before the full moon - about 10 hours total.

I've got a few "teething" problems to sort out (spacing, tilt and USB 3 cables), but overall I'm quite happy with this camera. It's certainly a major step up from the ASI1600MM.

What is the focal length used here?

[lazjen (Chris)]

I was using the Sharpstar 107PH with the TS Flat 2.5, so it's 700mm, f/6.54

Very nice. Trying to shoot this one tonight as it looks clear. If I get close to that I'll be stoked.

[Nikolas (Nik)]

Also my target tonight, lets hope it goes well

[lazjen (Chris)]

Thanks, Paul and Marc.

Good luck with tonight. Here it's clouds with increasing showers...

very nice chris. will be following your experience with the asi2600mm. Seems this target has become very popular all of a sudden!

[lazjen (Chris)]

Thanks Robert. I think it's popular because it's bright, away from the moon and available most of the night. Certainly for me I went for it because of the limited time window I expected. I haven't done it before either, so of course that helped the decision.

Me too, though I don''t think I got enough data to get a decent image.

[lazjen (Chris)]

Thanks Jeff.

You've got a couple more months to go for this year to get data, so hopefully that will work out.

Thanks JA.

Inspired by Robert's starless version I decided to give it a go as well:



Very much art now, for sure...
