Description

Gum 14/15 Vela Complex (HOO)

Gum 14 (RCW27 or Ru64; the Pie) is a large emission nebula (left of image) which contains many types of objects; Emission, dark and reflection nebulae (NGC2626), an open cluster (NGC2671) and planetary nebulae too (PK259+00.1, PK260+00.1 and PK260+00.2)

The beatiful strawberry like object (bottom centre) is an HII region Gum15

On the right we can see parts of the famous Vela SNR.

It is interesting that there is hardly any information on this very rich area despite being so close to the famous Vela SNR. also very interesting is the advanced plate solver hasn't solved Gum14 and Gum15.
