Them Red HII regions, are they part of thie galaxy, i assums so ! Hey, that lower red HII object appears to have some arms reaching out of it, any idea what the go is there ?
Facinating
The HII structures inside IC1613 are in the form of giant shells believed to be supernovae driven or driven by some of the massive blue supergiant stars in the area but nobody is entirely sure.

The lower HII region I imaged with one 5min Binx2 OIII sub and the lower region was the only patch to show up, but I did not think it was good enough to try a set.

There is a NASA image I found but quality is not so good.
