Description

This is a lucky capture, during a longer "set" on this beautiful southern Nebula, the Lambda Cen. or Running Chicken Nebula.

This is only an edited RAW single frame, and the final processed image should come out in the next days/week. The image is, therefore, a little noisy and "over processed", and has some cirrus/clouds that were passing by (well, tropical country, etc etc, hasn't got the best weather for astroimaging....) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I saw that I captured the meteor.

Taken from Rural Skies (Bortle 3-4), in a (kind of) clear night, on May 16th, on Cristina, MG, Brazil. Thanks for seeing!

Camera: Unmodded T4i/650D at ISO 800

Lens: Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 (non VC), at 200mm and f/3.5

Exposure Detail: SINGLE FRAME, 1x180s or 3 minutes.

*Revision -B- has improved Color Correction, looking a bit bluer/less yellow/green. I think it looks a lot better. What do you think?*
