NGC 3572 and its surroundings

[DiscoDuck]

The area around the star cluster NGC 3572 from suburban Adelaide, shot with a GSO RC8 and a ZWO 294MM.

This area has some nice twiddly bits in the wispy gas around it - I'd never seen it before until recently in an image somebody posted I think on Astrobin.

Done as an SHO image with RGB stars. It is very economical with data - literally one frame each (10 mins) of OIII and SII. I was going to try to find another couple of nights to capture OIII and SII data, but then realised I could process without doing that.

About 6 hours of Ha and 1 each of RGB for the stars. (10 mins each of OIII and SII).

That’s fantastic Paul! I’ve never imaged this one myself. Compared with what I could find online I reckon this is right up there. A great quality shot all round!

Nice image, haven't done this one, but I will put on my list :)

Lovely image Paul! 10 minutes of OIII and SII is extremely good mileage!!
