A chicken?

[Benjamin]

Not sure where any chickens are in this but the region is certainly interesting enough. Maybe if I rotate it 90º to the left? Is that the running chook? 19x 300s 5nm Ha subs through an ED80 with a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro, taken last night from Brisbane. Processed quickly in StarTools.

Nice image Ben

When red, it looks more like a chicken...that has been run over :)

Nice detail, Ben.

Here are a couple of interpretations of the chicken.

Thanks Rick! My impression was the second one, although I could also imaging the chicken seen from above, maybe more like Peter imagines :-) The orientation of my picture suggests more a flaming cat I think

Should be called 'The Road Kill Nebula' ..:P

[Benjamin]

With this orientation The Cat and the Barracuda Nebula was suggested to me tonight.

Thanks Alex. Enjoying having the absolute luxury of an 5nm Ha filter and a sensitive cooled mono camera - suddenly light pollution is not an issue! Planning to add RGB but thanks to clouds only have about 20 minutes of callibrated red and green.

Maybe its debeaked. Watch out for PETA.
