Description

From Galaxy Map:

The exciting star for this HII region is the O9.5 III giant LS IV -02 16.

Russeil combines together Sh 2-65 and Sh 2-66. Both are seen at radio frequencies to lie at the edge of the massive W 43 complex. (Note that W 43 is believed to be twice as far away however, in the galactic bar region.)

AKA: RCW 176

TSX shows this as Abell 92, but the images are wrong in TSX.
