RCW54/57 Complex

Field centered on R.A. 11h 10' & Dec. -59° 50'

 

Nebular complex east of Eta Carinae. The star field is so rich that it is very difficult to enhance the nebulas without excessively contrast the stars. The nebula close to the bottom side is composed by NGC3576 and RCW57, the large open cluster on top is NGC3532, the nebula on the right side is RCW54 while I find no references for the other nebulas in the field.
