Description

This is my first attempt at imaging IC 2944, The Running Chicken Nebula. Unfortunately due to my sensor and scope, I couldn't quite fit the whole chicken in the frame but I'm still happy with the detail I captured in the body. You can see some nice bok globules in the centre of the image as well as the small planetary nebula Pk 294-0.1.
I prefer the starless version of this image as I feel without the stars, the image attains additional depth and the details of the gas and dust are exemplified.

This was taken over 3 nights of imaging in my local park.
Any constructive criticisms are always welcome
