NGC 3576 Statue of Liberty

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

I got 15 hours on the Statue of Liberty Nebula. I was even able to crop it a bit thanks to the 103 apo aperture and low noise of the Mono 533. I don't think adding anymore data will add much because the target is bright enough for my set up.

For some reason i cant attach and upload here so here is the link

Hi Paul,
that's a great picture of a very photogenic target.
I can't see any color noise and there is a lot of detail,
great colours and perfect stars from corner to corner.
Looks like you nailed it.

cheers
Allan

Paul,
A high fidelity image with good contrast , fine detail and pleasing colour palette
Can’t beat those Antlia 3nm filters for price and performance, I use the 2”
A great result, you must be happy

thanks Martin . the Antlia filters are almost faultless. Some flats look odd but they correct perfectly.

Thanks Allan. one thing I noticed was the excellent performance of the 103 apo from Askar. using the flattener was perfect. And when I used BlurEX there was minimal correction on the stars - almost none

That’s gorgeous mate. Love the colours and the detail is clear and provides a beautiful sense of depth. Well done!

Thanks Dave. I was wondering if more data was required but when I cropped and zoomed in there wasn't any noticeable noise

That's a really good image of this object Paul.

Love the fine detail and you really get a sense of the gaseous flows involved.

thanks Greg. I agree the nebula is flowing

That's a stunner. Such good careful processing. As Allan pointed out the stars are really good and that is no small feat alone.

Great image Paul! Love this region a lot. Its been on my list of targets to image but a stock dslr would make this a pain. Can't wait to upgrade my camara later this year and image this region.

Awesome detail and colouration Paul!

Thank Peter It does take a lot to process but because the mount was very stable, 600 sec subs, and enough data it made the processing a bit easier

Looking into the QHY Minicam8 mono. Thinking of pairing with either the Redcat51 v2/v3 or get a Roki135. The 585 FOV fits really well for small-medium size targets.

that sounds awesome Shiv. I cant wait to see the images! (Probably go with the redcat as the Samyang (which I have) is fantastic but only if you get a good copy and usually have to stop it down to 2.0
