The Running Chicken Nebula Hubble Palette

[gregbradley]

I took this one last month in some great seeing. AP 140/Proline.
I have some LRGB of this as well I'll post another version with LRGB stars.

I quite like the crop version as all the structure is quite visible.

Just about to sign off when this popped up!

Beautiful photo Greg.

Amazing detail!

Would love to see an RGB version.

Ross.

[Larryp (Laurie)]

That's superb, Greg

[RickS (Rick)]

Lovely, Greg! I reckon it looks more like a snail's head than a chicken There's something a little strange happening at the very top of the image. The first few rows are doubled?

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks Larry. I was very happy with it. The seeing was particularly good and the AP140 seemed to shine in sharpness.

Thanks Rick. Thanks for picking that artifact up. I don't see it in the original. Perhaps the upload got interrupted and it distorted or something. Odd. Anyway, fixed now.

Thanks David. Yes I am partial to that palette as well. It takes a while to get a formula going for this sort of imaging.

Thanks Marcus. It was sharper and more detailed than I expected.

Cheers for that. I think it was really good seeing that night. Plus I've got my PMX mount humming beautifully.Its some of the best tracking I've achieved with a mount.

Superb work Greg!
I think it's the best chicken I've seen, something about the colour palette that really makes it stand out.

Cheers,

Justin.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Nice on Greg. Great colours.

[niharika]

Nice one Greg. FOV fits the whole chicken nicely.

[Peter Ward]

Greg...the only comment I'd make is shadow and highlights...and I'm being picky... but suspect you'd prefer "full and frank" comments.

...the image looks decidedly "flat" to me and lacks dynamic range.

Yet, so much you have absolutely nailed
(AP make such cool 'scopes )

Nice one

[Octane (Humayun)]

I look upon this as a work of art. Well done, mate.

Gee thanks Justin. It did turn out better than I expected. The great seeing had something to do with that as well.

Yes the FOV of that setup suits a lot of common objects.

Thanks Peter. Are you referring to the darks being quite dark?
