Loki

Hi all,

this is only my second narrowband image with the Antila Dual-Band filter so getting the processing & colour-balance right is still quite a challenge.

This object, NGC 3576, is normally referred to as the Statue of Liberty nebula but I think it looks far more like Loki in his horned helmet.

I ended up using 38 x 3 min subs through the filter plus 60 x 1 min unfiltered for the stars, all taken with the MN190 & an ASI2600MC Unfortunately the OIII data was still quite thin & noisy without more exposures so it'll have to do for now.

Hope you like it and I'm happy for any comments, critiques or suggestions.

Pete
