Southern Nebulae

I have been looking at bright RCW and vBH nebulae using wikisky.
Gum 19 = RCW 34 (diam 2') seems pretty bright. It is 2.1 degrees from lam Vel in pa 280 at RA 08 56 28.23, dec -43 05 54.0

Refr:
RCW = H-α emission regions in Southern Milky Way (Rodgers+ 1960)
vBH = Southern Stars embedded in nebulosity (van den Bergh+, 1975)
