Decapitated Chicken

Last night I was capturing some data for Running Chicken Nebula. I don't have any calibration frames yet so I just ran everything as a Median stack in MaximDL and then used Visual Pinpoint to add the WCS header.

I then moved over to Pix Insight as it can create mosaics with the WCS headers. Told PI that I wanted it to output the image at 90º and at 10"/pixel. This is what came out! Not quite the result that I was expecting. I've managed images without flats before but this sensor NEEDS good darks with 300s exposures to remove the Amp Glow.

PI has done a good job stitching the stars and stuff considering the frames aren't quite in the right spot
