The Statue of Liberty nebula

[marco (Marco Lorenzi)]

Dear all, below is the link to an image of another gem of the southern sky, NGC 3575 in Carina.

Statue of Liberty

It is a beautiful object located in a very rich star field that makes difficult the nebulosity to stand out, this is why often the best views are those in narrowband. This is my attempt, a HaOIIIRGB composition of about 14 hours of total exposure. I recommend the vision in full res. Other details on the page.

Clear skies

Lovely and colourful. Really great capture. I got some quick images of this a year ago and have been meaning to get back to it. You're inspiring me.

Marco,

Just beautiful...

Hi Marco,

Really nice image!

Intense colours, and leaps out at you, another one to put on my to do list.

Cheers,

Justin.

Gorgeous capture. Lovely starfields, so clear and colourful and the nebula nicely framed with some additional nebula in the top right.

Wonderful.

Greg.

Nicely done Marco - a great wide field shot. I've never seen The statue of liberty name before.

Cheers

Nice work Marcus, the full size view is lovely to wander through. Great colour and saturation and a little different from the view I presented earlier in the year. It is an interesting nebula and certainly not family with the name you have presented but the I can see why it might have that name.

Fantastic!

[SkyViking (Rolf)]

Wonderful view and amazing colours. The full res version is fantastic - very crisp and the central area looks so 3D, just spectacular! Thanks for the view Marco, it's very inspiring.

[Peter Ward]

Sorry it's the slam dunk nebula

Nice image just the same

[Martin Pugh]

Nicely done Marco. Rich colours and good framing.

cheers
Martin

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Great field that and very nicely processed too

In RGB the two nebulae are actually very different shades of red but since it is in narrowband I'll forgive you

Another lovely image Marco

Thanks Steve, actually the name looks quite appropriate to me, the resemble of the statue is quite striking I found it used a couple times, not sure if it is the "official" nickname but I like it..

Thanks Paul, your image was fantastic too and contributed to my "to do" list on this target

Thanks Rolf, lots it's due to the Coona skies, the lack of light pollution down there helps a lot to have high contrast in particular on colors!

Thanks mate for your understanding, coming to color it's always difficult to find the right mix

Clear skies

Love that framing and colors. So many colourful stars. Really nice.
