Pearl Cluster & Lambda Centauri Nebula (77mm 5DII).jpg
The Lambda Centauri complex, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula IC 2948 (at left) and above it the Pearl Cluster (NGC 3766). Just right of centre is the open cluster IC 2714 ad below it the small barely resolve cluster Mel 105. To the upper right is the nebula complex NGC 3576/81. This is a rich area of sky to explore with binoculars or a low-power telescope with excellent contrasts between rich starfields and dark nebulas. To the camera it is a very colourful region of sky.
