Description

IC2944 is also called the Running Chicken Nebula....because it looks like a cosmic chicken running across the deep sky...sort of if you squint and tilt your head a little!

I took this one with an older scope that I had and have not exposed these images until today. I have not taken as many shots to generate this one but it still looks great IMO. Hope you enjoy!
