Description

I am still learning how to process monochrome images and this is my latest attempt.  Presented here is IC2944 or the Running Chicken Nebula using the SHO Hubble Palette. I still don't feel like I have my colour quite right, but I'm getting there.

Managed to capture most of the subs in February, during a good spell of clear weather.  We have been fortunate in Melbourne to have avoided most of the La Niña related weather that has been hitting the east coast of Australia.
