NGC 3603 (centre) is the most massive visible cloud of glowing gas and plasma, known as a H II region, in the Milky Way.The central star cluster is the densest concentration of very massive stars known in the galaxy.

NGC 3576 is a bright emission nebula a few thousand light-years away from the Eta Carinae nebula. It is also approximately 100 light years across and 9000 light-years away from Earth.

No relation between these nebula as they are around 10000 ly apart.

19hrs data over 5 nights in January - Bortle 7-8 skies - 9hrs Ha in 120s subs 2.5hrs each LRGB in 30s subs

Camera ZWO1600GT scope Orion EON110ED- Mount Losmandy G11

Processed SIRIL and PS- NINA acquisition PHD2 guiding. although I am somewhat stuck with this processing, with 19hrs data I was anticipating a better result
