I finally found that Chicken - IC2948

[pmrid]

That wretched chicken eluded me for ages but I can see it now. Here it is. This is a SHO (200,200,180 minutes) at f/11 Binx2 with ATIK11002M, OAG and EdgeHD1400.
It was the finer detail of the feathers fringing the chickens neck that I wasn't getting but courtesy of a lovely Ha image of IC2944 this week in IIS, I could see what I was missing, so I had another go and managed 2 clear nights to do it in. Yahoo!!

Thanks Trevor,
that's one of the many things I haven't figured out how to do yet. The joys of being an old f%^t include being a computer luddite.

Hi Pete, glad you nailed the sucker!
And it certainly is a 'funky' Chicken...
Love what the NB filters have delivered!

With the real estate you have with camera..., would be great to show it off in a larger image.. maybe join flickr or something...

All the best

Nice work, Peter! Still having problems with that column? Are you going to have a go at dithering?

Cheers,
Rick.

Peter,

That's looking mighty good.

I know, for certain, that there is a plethora of data towards the outer regions that you could bring out with very, very subtle and gentle application of masked curves. Give it a go. :)

Great work Peter really nice image especially in NB.

Try out dithering as Rick suggests, I've been experimenting using Nebulosity/PHD and found it works really well.

Very nice,well done.

Nice detail Peter. Not very familiar with this subject so it's nice to see it with some detail all over.
