Running chicken nebula, IC2944 new
      #1883733 - 10/03/07 05:59 PM

Hello all,

following with the images I took from the marvellous skies of Namibia, today I show you IC 2944 a nebula in the constellation of Centaurus, the brightest star is Lambda Centauri.
With the insertion of this photo I wanted to experiment with HTML and javascript; or better, it is an experimento only for myself, because I have seen doing the same thing on other websites, but I thought it was interesting to use it in order to increment the user interaction with the image and not just writing about technical details of the composition.

Clear skies!

I can see the running chicken! lol

If you would not have outlined it, I probably would not have been able to make it out. Nice job on this one.
