Description

This image is a 2 panel mosaic, however I cropped the left side significantly because the image was so wide and there really wasn't much going on over there. I am in love with the structures in the central part of the nebula. I tried to bring out the details in the core of the nebula and in Thackeray's Globules. Since we had both RGB and Narrow Band data, I decided to mix in a bit of the color from the RGB, as well as put in the RGB stars.

And...for the record. I have never seen a "running chicken" in any of the images of this beautiful nebula that I have seen.

I hope you like the results...
