Andy, have a look here:

http://galaxymap.org/cat/view/rcw/20

There seems to be some confusion about the nebulosity ID in this area. If you read the notes, it may be that Gum 11 = NGC 2579 but RCW 20 is different but in the same area.

Here is Geoff Scotts Astrobin image of the area, which has plate solving for the local DSOs.

Obviously you have better detail of the nebulosity due to shooting Ha.
