Geeday Scott,

Yeah I think Lambda Centauri Nebula is just in the right spot for imaging, so we are all "after it".

Just for the record the dark globules in the nebula are actually called BOK GLOBULES after their discoverer Astronomer Bart Bok.

Incidentially Bok was director of Mt. Stromlo Observatory for about a decade and he published one the best Astronomy Books that I have ever had called "THE MILKY WAY" published 1974. I purchased it in 1975.
