Description

An emission nebula RCW 32 is located in the southern constellation Vela. I found this object by chance while I was looking over the star chart on ASIAIR.
The dark region of RCW32 looks similar to  a man stretching his arms in the famous movie poster "The Shawshank Redemption"
I tried to  take the open cluster NGC2671 inside FOV as well
