IC2944 Running Chicken

Imaging during moon light can have its risks but if you plan things out well you could be quite surprised. For this image I did my narrow band when the moon was above the horizon and the colour when the moon was below or just risen. The luminence I did last night for 105 minutes with 15 minute subs. All the other subs were 10 minutes long. Overall I am very happy with this image and so much so I have included a crop of the Bok Globules which show detail. This astounded me and I thought it might be a stacking error, however it is visible in the Hubble shot of the same globules; so it would seem that a very small scope can pull out detail of these region too.
