Description

NGC 3603 is a giant star forming region in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way. It is around 20,000 light-years from Earth, and is adjacent to the famous Statue of Liberty Nebula. In the center of the image is a very compact open cluster, sometimes referred to as a supercluster, known as HD97950.
This data comes from Telescope Live's ProData sets and is 2 hours of subs @600s taken with an ASA RC-1000AZ at El Sauce Observatory, Chile by Peter Jenkins.  It was kind of hard to process...cause I've never seen this object before....hope I did it justice!!
Anyway, hope ya like it!
Tom
