Hummingbird Nebula

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 and here.
