Chasing the Chicken - IC 2944

Hi All

Out at my favorite southern dark site in Kuitpo forest to hunt chickens.

Last night was a ripper, clear cold conditions but not to cold to get dew issues, polar alignment took about 5 mins to get pretty spot on, guiding worked first time and I was able to get subs up to 3 minutes without any losses.

My target for the night? IC 2944, the running chicken nebula.

I didn't expect it to be a great target for an unmodded DSLR and it didn't look great during the capture but I think it came out alright. Lets call this one a work in progress.

Also, a couple of bonus shots I took with the Sony RX100 while the main rig was doing its thing.

Image details:
59 x 180sec subs
Stacked with Sequator (first try)
Processed with PS

Regards
Chris
