Image-field position and adopted distance
NGC 3603 image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 11.3 h, Dec -61.3° in Carina, at an adopted distance of 20,000 light-years.
Also known as HD 97950, NGC 3603 cluster.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

NGC 3603 (star-forming emission nebula; central source NGC 3603, embedded stellar population): projected footprint at the adopted distance 18.8 × 19 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 9.5 light-years.
The Hubble field contains the young cluster and nearby nebula. Stars visible in projection are not assigned individually measured depths. Projected structure follows the credited observation at its published angular scale and an approximate adopted distance. Shallow depth is illustrative, not measured tomography. The source palette is preserved; brightness is adjusted for the navigable view.
