Hummingbird Nebula

[DiscoDuck]

A quickie of the Torchbearer Nebula (NGC 3576).

I wasn't going to post this, as I had a lot of guiding issues last night and so didn't get much data. Salvaged only 37 x 5 min Ha frames with an ZWO ASI 1600MM-C on an RC8 and EQ6. And colourised it with an old QHY8 RGB image from last year for a quick view of a colour version (so colour is a bit weird - my apologies!).

What made me post it was the cool little hummingbird shape (see attached 100% crop) :)

Both images on Astrobin here (https://www.astrobin.com/340783/)and here (https://www.astrobin.com/340784/).

Thanks Rick.



Thanks Mike n Trish. Still haven't got the hang of the L + RGB combination in PixInsight as it seems to generate some unexpected results. :shrug:



Thanks Geoff.

Really well done Paul. :thumbsup: The crop does look like a humming bird. Good catch.
