Lady Liberty

NGC 3579 The statue of Liberty, Not visible to those who claim her as their own so they built statues to look at instead.

Total revision combining old and new data Over 14 hours of acquisition and I aim to obtain twice that in the next few weeks hopefully I used the new gradient correction tool in Pixinsight, the jury is still out but it does seems to keep more nebulosity than Graxpert.

Taken in bortle 6 skies over the last 3 years Optolong L-Extreme and L-Ultimate filters.

ASI 294mc Pro Camera

ASIAIR pro for acquisition guiding etc,

TS-OPTICS 130 APO reduced to 0.75 with Riccardi reducer on the Skywatcher neq6Pro mount

Stacked and preprocessed in Astropixel Processor extracted the HA and O3 as well as the RGB

Processed in Pixinsight used the Forax palette to extract the stars as this gives them a better colour. HA as a luminance layer and finalised in Photoshop.
