These Wolf Rayet objects though are quite interesting imaging targets.

Hi Greg & Andy,
When I first saw Greg's image (
) I had a look for it in Stellarium to see where it lives, and although it didn't have an image of the gas cloud for it, it did recognise RCW 58 and show the central star (V385 Car) and pinpoint the location. I also randomly picked another "RCW something" and it also showed up, so
Stellarium includes the RCW star catalog, in a fashion.
BTW the random RCW I checked was RCW 57. It came up as being listed under 3 names/catalogues, namely NGC3576, RCW 57 & Ced 113a, otherwise known as The Statue of Liberty Nebula
Best
JA
