Remarks:

LBN 777 is also known as the “Little Eagle Nebula”. To recognize this, however, you have to rotate the image by 180°, north is then at the bottom. For us, the nebula (shape and structure) fits much better with a capybara without having to rotate the image and, of course, because we want to take up the cudgels for this rodent ;-)

   

Bemerkungen:

LBN 777 ist auch als „Little Eagle Nebula“ bekannt. Um das zu erkennen, muss man das Bild aber um 180° drehen, Norden ist dann unten. Für uns passt der Nebel (Form und Struktur) viel besser zu einem Wasserschwein, einem Capybara, ohne dass das Bild gedreht werden muss und natürlich auch, weil wir für diesen Nager eine Lanze brechen wollen ;-)
