IC2948 Mosaic 9h40 CHI-1 Bundle
This is one of my favourites nebulae and i particulary love the great 3D appearance of its structures in narrowband, and the colours which came out from it.
Here is a close view of IC 2948, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the Lambda Centauri Nebula, which is an emission nebula located about 6000 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus.
It is associated with the open cluster IC 2944 (Caldwell 100) and one of its most remarkable features is the presence of several 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 2948.
S : 14x300s + 13x600s
H : 14x300s + 12x600s
O : 14x300s + 12x600s
