Description

RCW 27 is an interesting HII region just to the north of the Vela SNR.  Quite faint, it poses a bit of a challenge, not least to those of us who find LRGB imaging challenging in the first place.  Crossed by some cool dark lanes, it contains the lovely reflection nebula  NGC2626, the subject of a recent stunning image on AB and provided the inspiration for imaging this nebula.   I am not sure it shows its best at the focal length, but at least I get the added bonus of RCW32 in the lower left corner.
