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!  Nicola

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.
