Description

This HOO of the Running Chicken was taken with Meade80 refractor+FR= 384mm FL, ASI178MC, Ha 52x300s O348X300s. In this composition it always looks to me like a big codfish head (hanging down). I love the sharpness of Thackery's globules (just right and above centre). There's a lot happening - bow shocks and light pressure clearing out cavities - in the nebula behind the open cluster.
