Description

This is an experimental process of IC-2944. It contains Ha and OIII material, but at the same time hydrogen was used for luminance, which showed many details in the background.

Also, not sure why the common name for this nebula is Running Chicken. For me, it was always "Alien Monster With Eyes On Long Stalks" Nebula :-)
