Description

Running Chicken in SHO.

data taken from the roof top of my townhouse over about 7 nights from 3 April to 20 April 2018. Lots of variable weather so took ages. Had to throw away about 3.5 hours of data due to cloud and other issues with weather.

Also thanks to Chucks Astrophotography for his videos on everything, especially processing.

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Bok globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944
