The Running Chicken Nebula processed by Zubuyer Kaolin and observed by Peter Jenkins using our CHI-2: an ASA 500N, a 19.6 inch (50 cm) is a Newtonian telescope with field corrector, situated in the Rio Hurtado Valley, Chile.
IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Bok globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944.
