I've had the telescope out for the last few days before the cloud has come in. This month's target from #AstronomyGroupOfWesternAustralia is The Statue of Liberty #nebula

I went a different path with the editing because I was struck with the sheer volume of stars in the area and didn't want dampen them down. So I left most of them in and upped the colour because I thought it looked cool.

This month's target of the month from AGWA is the Statue of Liberty Nebula ( #NGC3579 ), which is in Carinae, and near the famous Eta Carinae Nebula.

This is three hours with a #Dwarf3 in Ha/OIII . Post processing in #Snapseed and Stellar Studio.

Maybe down at the beach we might get a shot if the aurora makes an appearance.

So as I mentioned earlier, the quest for my astronomy gathering this month is to get a photo of the Rosette Nebula, which is pretty good for us to shoot at home at the moment.

You saw my in progress shot with my Dwarf 3, but I haven't forgotten about my Dwarf 2, so Rob lent me his SVBONY CLS filter and I've had a bunch of sessions with it.

So here's the result, and I'm loving the rosiness of the Rosette 🙂

Of course I should call it my preferred moniker - the Unicorn Nostril. Well, look at it, it's right there at Monoceros's snout in the right place!

So the challenge from my Astronomy club for us this month is The Rosette Nebula, Caldwell 49 or NGC 2237.

This is a bit of a rough cut - I've not seen it done with an OIII SII filter before, and I'd like to add some more frames. Thanks to @rdm for lending me the filter!
