Description

If these gems were in the northern sky they would be regular features on the astrobin frontpage and have nifty nicknames. Instead, at -42 declination there are very few images on astrobin. I am really impressed with how these came out considering only 2h 15m of imaging. This part of the sky is definitely worth a deeper visit. RCW33 left RCW32 right.
