NGC 3766 + Lambda Centauri Nebula (4in f6 5D).jpg
This frames NGC 3766, the Pearl Cluster, at top and the Lambda Centauri nebula, aka the Running Chicken Nebula or IC 2948, at the bottom. The star cluster embedded in the nebula is IC 2944 or Collinder 249. The roundish nebulas at right are Gum 39 (top) and Gum 41 (bottom). They form the head and feet, respectively, of the running chickern.
