NGC3576: The Statue of Liberty Nebula processed in pix insight to bring out the unique layers of Oiii that weave throughout this nebula. This nebula has always mesmerized me since I saw it several years ago. With it being in the souther hemisphere, I never thought I would be able to image it. This is a bundle of different one-click observations and I had to do a mosaic of all of the sessions to get all of the top of this arch of hydrogen-alpha so it wasn't cut off in the framing.
