Do the Funky Chicken

in 1969 Rufus Thomas wrote -

Then you know you doin' the funky chicken".


Which is possibly what the guys at the AAO were doing when they named the 'Running Chicken' nebula!

I've presented NB versions of this timeless classic target here with and without stars, as I'm still waiting for the clouds to clear to capture some RGB ones.

6 Hrs HA x 900 sec
2 Hrs O3 x 900 sec
3 Hrs S2 x 900 Sec

Taken via Stellarmate (while sleeping ) from my light polluted suburban Backyard in Melbourne.

PS: Just for comparison - Here is a version I did 6 years ago, been much water under the bridge since then!
