IC2944 from 10Chain

The clouds were reasonably kind last weekend in Brissy, allowing me to have a decent go at the Running Chicken neb in Centaurus for the first time. My FOV means the portrait is reasonably close in - more "chicken giblets" than whole chicken really...

This is all RGB unbinned, with artificial luminance to squeeze out a bit more life (expected time between clouds could be limited and so elected not to collect Lum). After clouds, fog and throwing away some poorly tracked frames, I ended up with RGB 20:15:15 min (5mins subs, 50mins total). The plan was/is to try and get some Ha from the city later when time allows, but would have been nice to get some more quality colour frames. Still, can't be choosy with the wet season the way it is.

Taken with the QHY9 through 8" Newt/MPCC.
