IC-2944 / RCW-62 Running Chicken Nebula

Also see the reddish second version inside the post (both best viewed at full screen to benefit from the resolution). It has been amazing pleasure working on these two, thanks TL for providing such great data.

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula, the Lambda Centauri 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. Other designations for IC 2944 include RCW 62, G40 and G42. (Wiki)
