Description

A little off the beaten track here with RCW 75, in the constellation Centaurus, represented in HaRGB. A faint emission nebula ionised by the nearby star cluster Stock 16 (blue stars just above center) and embedded in a rich star field; a combination that presented challenges come time to process the data but the incorporation of H-alpha does a great job in revealing the nebulosity. While almost entirely an emission nebula there is some faint reflection nebulosity (VbBH 60a,  VbBH 60b, VbBH 60c, VbBH 60d).
