Two thoughts. Has anyone read or learned that the IC2948 'Running Chicken' nebula is really the same nebula as it's western neighbors of Gum41, IC2872 and Gum39?
With deep pictures the seem to be all connected but optically the very faint stuff is never really seen between them.
Second question has been bothering me for over a year now. I am serious on this and I need to know this. How does one turn this image to make it look like a running chicken and are those other nebula I mentioned part of this chicken thing or not? I just don't get it but I am a 'city boy' as they say and have rarely seen a chicken running.
I would like any takes on either of the two questions above and sorry to post this here but I just could not find a better forum to ask as both questions require a lot of experience to have encountered the answers.
Thanks,
mark
