Running Chicken IC2944

Running Chicken  IC2944
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_2944

The Bad news is my focuser they could not fix, they could not undo the screws. The interesting part is I was able to undo them all myself. So I have to be content for a while with no focuser.

This is the a very large Nebula that is quite prominent in the Milky way. For the very first time I was able to see the planetary nebula just out to the right.

Shows up better in this shot the very small blue dot what is a planetary nebula Helix is another example of one..

Helix Nebula NGC 7293



My shot is with the nikon lens and I am still staggered the amount of detail in the shot.

Thank You Diana we are starting cloudy nights but cooler nights. it great out there in space things we just cant comprehend. Sadly I am chained with no focuser so cant run the big telescope so I am running smaller gear so its a case of target's that you will have seen before.
