Close up of RCW 27

RCW 27 is located in the same direction as the Puppis R2 reflection nebula association in the molecular crest of Vela. One of the main contributors to the ionization of RCW 27 comes from the O star HD 73882. (SIMBAD gives an O9 III class for this star.) The reflection nebula NGC 2626 is part of the same complex.
