Description

RCW 61also known as Gum 41 is located in the southern portion of our Milky Way.  This amazing object forms one of the appendages of the unfortunately named Running Chicken Nebula.
The image is RGB with strong Ha and weaker OIII. 
The mostly yellow tone is the result of the blend of the RGB/Ha image stacks at about 50/50 with the OII and SII blend.  The image Pixel math variations seemed to indicate the yellow/orange tone was the most natural color of the object.
