One of the more striking images I've seen of the Running Chicken (IC 2948 / IC 2944) is Ken Crawfords NB image
here. While I can't get the resolution of Ken's image, I was pleasantly surprised about how it turned out in LHaRGB. There's a lot to see in this patch of sky!! As well as the beautiful pink hues associated with HII emission, note the faint reflection neb to the right and of course Thackeray's globules (Bok globules discovered in this neb by David Thackeray).
I used F5.5 again (FL 825mm) so I could include the smaller Gum 39 & Gum 41 nebs in the FOV. Total exposure 10.25 hrs.

Don't forget, when you look at the large full res ("Original") version be sure to use
<cntrl -> to zoom out so you can fit the whole image on the screen and
<cntrl +> to zoom back in.
