The whole Chook - not just the Parson's Nose

A week or so back I posted some images of IC2948 taken with a WOFLT110. But, I was told, that is not the whole chicken. For that one needs a 3 degree-a-side shot based on Lambda Cent.

Well, I love a challenge. So here it is. Different scope though. This one is with the BabyQ with a .73 reducer.

Details are:
16x5 minute subs,
ATIK LE4000, Lodestar
G11, FLI/PDF focuser,
SX OAG/FW,
Baader 5nm Ha.

But wait, there's more. Since this was both the first clear night in months and also this scopes first light with new focuser and reducer, I also revisited another old favorite in NGC3576 and 3603 - but in the wider field to show all the region. 10x5 minute subs - otherwise same details as above.

Details
Enjoy.
