Two red nebulae in Carina

Here are the two interesting southern nebulae NGC 3603 & 3576. NGC 3603 is almost 4X further away than NGC 3576 so it is a noticeably deeper red from interstellar reddening NGC 3576 is more magenta from the Ha and Hb without extinction.

You need to stop tormenting me. I'm still 3 weks away (or so) from getting mine. I'm trying not to be like a little kid the day before Xmas and you are not helping! :)
Oh and absolutely fantastic as always. You are the man.
