Description

Running Chicken was interrupted by clouds after only 8 subframes were collected. Had to pack up next morning so this will have to do from the dark site.

Pleased to note that I have also captured planetary nebula He2-72 at upper right of the frame. A 14.5 magnitude planetary nebula, 1 arc minute in diameter. A lucky catch with such a short integration and a tribute to the sensitivity of the Zwo ASI1600mm camera.
