Scientific paper

We find that dust-scattered light is the dominant contributor (50-70%) to the continuum in the pure nebular spectra (bright stars excluded) of NGC 3372 (Carina), M8 and M20. On the other hand, the stellar spectra contributes only about 50% of the continuum when the stars are included. This high contribution of scattered light should be taken into account when deriving the age and stellar content from observed Equivalent Widths ( W[H scriptstyle beta ]) in spatially resolved GEHRs and H II galaxies.
