Running Chicken in Narrowband IC2944

hi,

Feeble attempt at the Running chicken from my LP backyard.
Managed to get 4 hours in one night. Good thing about this target is that it transits after 5am and rises after 9pm, so you can get a full nights worth without a flip.
Need to try this again from dark skies and the seeing was horrible that night.
Do Dark skies make any difference with narrowband?

Colours might be a bit overdone but its a start. still learning.

I thought I could do with binning S2 and O3, but the stars didn't turn out too well, so will change to 1x1 for all filters.

LRGB mapped as Ha:SII:Ha:OIII

STF8300M mono, 10inchF4 Serrurier Truss, NEQ6Pro
Guiding - Lodestar, OAG, phd,
Processed in Startools

7x10m Ha 7nm 1x1
8x10m SII 8nm 2x2
7x10m OIII 8.5nm 2x2

Comments welcome.
