NGC 3576 (The Statue of Liberty Nebula) and 3603, captured together by my MN190 Mak-Newt, on the CGX mount. Taken with the ASI1600MM-C camera, running at -25C. Image consists of: 30x300s Ha, 30x300s Oiii, and 25x300s Sii subs. Processing in DSS and Photoshop CC, colouring as per SHO pallet.
Since the original upload I have submitted a rotated version to make the Statue more obvious.

Nice work, Glen. A good long exposure bringing out all our favourite bits.

Thanks for the rotated image - we've never seen the Statue of Liberty in this image before, always a covered wagon at top right, a dancing Hereford bull at bottom right, and the Ice Queen's palace centre left. But they are there too.

I've always seen a giant cosmic hand holding a small Statue of Liberty :)

Really nice Glen, that new mount of yours is giving you nice sharp images, textbook stars :P
