RCW53c in the Carina burbs + Logan Carpenter + Optolong SHO-3nm

Searching for something to image, I noticed a bright area of nebulosity just on the outskirts of the Carina nebula (in the burbs ) that looked disturbingly like a face staring into the glow of  Carina  (see mouseover version). 
I subsequently found out that this area is apparently referred to as RCW53c and is not a frequently imaged area despite being so close to the more flashy Carina nebula.  
As the subs came in I could see rich areas of Ha which, in places, looked to have an 'aura' of Oiii. Plenty of Sii was also present.
My image is in SHO, processed to try and show all the interesting features present in RCW53c, including the wisps of dark nebulosity present.
