My final interpretation of NGC 3576 from this data set.
It's Pro Photo award season, so I thought why not, let's run a starless image by the Victorian Photo judges later next week. (probably an extremely risky, bad idea lol)
9000 light years distant,
The Statue of Liberty nebula's distinctive shapes are formed by stellar winds from stars born in dark, dusty regions of space. Removing these stars reveals a twisted vortex of swirling clouds of interacting gases.
Completely remapped colour wise, I once again find myself singing the praises of Starnet++. Truly the best star removal software out there imo
Admittedly, not quite as detailed as PW's recent image here of the same target, but I'm happy that my gear certainly gives more than decent bang for one's imaging buck. In this starless presentation, Lady Liberty kinda has a more sinister look - reminiscent of the "Weeping Angels" from Dr.Who
Anyhoo - I've now moved on to Stellar crustaceans, so thanks for looking - C&C welcome as always.
