The Running Chicken Nebula

Loftus, NSW

I have no idea why it's called this, but IC2944 is a pretty mix of star cluster and nebula near the bright star Lambda Centauri. In its centre are Thackeray's Globules, some of the most prominent Bok globules in the sky (clouds of gas and dust collapsing to form new stars)

Canon EOS 60D
12 x 5-minute exposures (1 hour integration time), ISO800, EOS 60D, darks, flats and bias subtracted. 150mm f/5 Newtonian on HEQ5 pro mount, Orion mini autoguider. Stacked and processed in PixInsight and Photoshop. hide exif
