Oh No.. Not Chicken Tonight!

Mostly into solar imaging these days but decided to dust off the scope for some h-alpha work.

Yes it another IC2944 aka running chook. Here is my take on this favourite. Taken with the RC10 and STL6303E using 7nm baader filter. A 4 hour exposure cut short from my intended 7 hours by cloud. There is a little bit of collimation error and it could do with some extra data depth, but reasonably happy with the outcome.

Thanks

Terrific contrast. Lots of details. Superb shot. :thumbsup:

Crisp and punctuated! Very visually pleasing result, Ted. Would love to see some chrominance added to this data set. Should produce a cracker of an image, without doubt. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning clarity. How long were the subs?

[Star Catcher]

Thanks. They were 20 minutes 1x1 bin



Thanks Jase. Weather and time permitting before I get away on some travel.



Thanks Marc, I was focussing on trying to bring out structure.



Thanks Ross

Wow Ted that'd a great shot

The Thakaray globules really pop

And great structure
Super. Clearly that's what this object needs... Extra long exposures
