Caption: Figure 1.

Composite image of Spitzer IRAC Bands 2 (red) and 1 (green), with K (blue) from the Anglo-Australian Telescope’s IRIS2 camera (Barnes et al. 2013). Contours are overlaid from Herschel and Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) data: 500 μm (red, at 30% and 50% of the peak value), 350 μm (orange, 50%), 250 μm (yellow, 50%), 160 μm (green, 50%), 70 μm (cyan, 2%, 3%, 50%), and 3 mm (magenta, 67%). Note the clear separation between the molecular cloud to the left, and the compact H II region to the center and right.
