Description

The skies cleared for a night, so I took the opportunity to capture some data on IC2944, an open cluster inside the Running Chicken nebula. This region also contains quite a few Bok globules, which usually signify star formation, although it appears no detectable star formation is occuring inside these globules at present. Considering I only managed 4 hours of data I'm happy with the result, aside from some halos in the OIII data a few registration or processing artifacts.
