ESO Photo release today.
Wolf-Rayet stars, plus the biggest Hll region on our galaxy and some Bok globules. And a nice image too.

This is one of my favourite regions in the constellation of Carina, which is full of many Wolf Rayet stars and also many Wolf Rayet nebulae.
If you look carefully (or at the full resolution image), there are also two planetary nebulae. These are PN G291.6-00.2 and PN G291.4-00.3, see the image below.
These are some of more than 1000 planetary nebulae discovered in the MASH project, see here:
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/vizier/MASH/index.htx
Also some of the Wolf Rayet nebulae in Carina have been imaged in detail, see the list below:
NGC 3199 by Marco Lorenzi
RCW 58 by Don Goldman
WR 16 nebula by Don Goldman
WR 23 nebula by Don Goldman
Some others that haven't been imaged yet are the nebulae around WR 22 and WR 30 and Hen 3-519, which interestingly makes a pair with the LBV nebula around the luminous blue variable star AG Carinae. There are also lots of
Wolf Rayet nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud that haven't been imaged yet.
Finally, the image of NGC 3603 by HST is one of my favourite Hubble images!

Considering this image is a HaLRGB composite, the OIII shell of this Wolf Rayet nebula is barely visible.

NGC 678, NGC 680 and NGC 691

Copyright: Makis Palaiologou, Stefan Binnewies and Josef Pöpsel
NGC 678 is the edge on galaxy, NGC 680 is the shell elliptical near it and NGC 691 is the spiral near the bottom. NGC 680 is probably the product of a merger, it is also unusual in that it also includes a dust lane. Also to the left is the companion galaxy IC 1730. More information is available
here.
This image of NGC 691 by Adam Block also includes the spiral galaxy IC 167, all four galaxies are part of a galaxy group.
