Around Perdition's Flames

Khan stated "I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares maelstrom and round perdition's flames before I give him up!" (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

NGC 3572 is a star cluster situated near a molecular cloud in Carina about 6500 light year distance. These stars are young and massive and are only expected to live a few million years and explode as supernovae. These stars have shaped the clouds into amazingly convoluted shapes by their powerful radiation.(Eso)

...and it's a pretty cool target - near the great Carina Nebula but not often photographed by itself. (Thanks M&T for the inspiration to attempt this one)

Mapped S2>B, O3>R, Ha>G - RGB stars > colours tweaked a bit
