Running Chicken!

Aaaaah, clear skies!
5 hours of 5 minute subs taken with Atik 11000, through ED80 with 0.85 FR, mounted on AZEQ6.
Stacked in DSS, stretched with FITS Liberator. Sharpened and contrast adjusted in PSCS6.

Thanks for looking


By the way, I am selling my DJ gear if anyone is interested. Look in "Non Astronomy" classified

The running chicken shape is very clear at this FOV and with this framing

Revised that image with proper calibration of subs.

To my eyes, it looks a lot better.
