1st Attempt IC 2948 Running Chicken Nebula

My 1st attempt of the Running chook
Unfortunately my focal length and sensor size can only capture around 40% of this huge Nebula
25 x 4 minute dithered subs
15 x darks
ISO 800
Canon 600D unmodded
PHD2 guiding
Jetstream was running around 65 to 70kt that night so my tracking and guiding was ordinary but I did manage to pick up the black spec dust clouds
Also once again the DSLR was warm at 29 deg C so lots of noise to contend with even with dithering
In retrospect I should have placed the main star Lambda Centauri towards one corner rather than smack dab in the centre of frame
Can only improve
Cheers
