NGC 3576 & 3503 in Carina

[MarsG76]

Hello All,

Sharing with you my imaging results from March 2023, the "Statue of Liberty" nebula (NGC3576) and NGC 3503, both are in the Carina constellation and very close together in the sky.

The "Statue of Liberty" integration time was 22 hours and 15 minutes, where as NGC3503 proved to be considerably fainter so I had to spend more time in imaging it to get a workable SNR.. even after a total of 33 hours and 38 minutes, the noise level was still quite visible.

Both images were exposed through a C8 SCT at f6.3, with a QHY268M, Baader filters and tracked using a hypertuned CGEM mount.

Clear Skies,

MG
