About this image

NGC 3576 is an emission nebula in the Carina constellation. It is commonly known as the Statue of Liberty Nebula. It is approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light years from Earth.
As I have an aversion to false colur images, both Ha and SII are red as per their optical wavelengths and OIII is blue.
