This is my first attempt at imaging the running chicken nebula. The head a feet of the chicken are out of view but the more interesting part of the nebula is captured in my image. The photo is around 2 hours of 5 minute long exposures stacked with darks, flats and bias frames. Overall I’m pretty happy with this.
