Description

These are two small and weak nebulas in Circinus, the blue and bright star is beta Circinus. Close to the centre and below right is RCW 91, and also near the centre up left is RCW 89. Also it is the open cluster Pismis 20, the small quite yellow cluster right close to the top at the centre of the image.

I found quite tricky the colour calibration in these full of dust areas and colourful stars, in general I try to find some reference images, normally from ESO, and using some routines in PxI for colour calibration to match a not so unbalance set of colours.

The Lynga 3 open cluster is clearly visible next to the bright yellow star, to the left, above RCW 91.

Additionally, close to the yellowish star at 12h12m and -58d45m it should be Loden 2045, however I am not able to identify it.
