Description

From Wikipedia, C2944 Running Chicken 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.

This is the first image captured with an ASIAir, and processed with Astro Pixel Processor.  Very happy with both.
