Description

IC2944, Lambda Centari nebula or (my favorite) Running Chicken nebula. It is a cloud of gas and newborn stars that lies around 6500 light-years away from us in the constellation of Centaurus.

I m still struggling with tilt when I use the reducer, so I tried to shoot without it. At this focal lenght and F, I tried to focus on the Thackeray's Globules, but I was surprised with  all the nebulosity that I was able to capture at F10.
