Running Chicken Nebula IC 2944:- Do look as large as you can

Running Chicken Nebula IC 2944:- Do look as large as you can
This is the test mule after cleaning and checking Both NB and RGB for signs of the filter Ghosts.

LRGB artifacts. Bernes 142

This is the very same target as the tests to really check that every thing is really all good. What better way to really see, so I did 5 nights of NB in total about 130 shots per filter. This has been held up by rain and clouds so its far from consecutive nights.

This is a Hubble (SHaO) pallet. One thing that showed up in those 5 night 2 am in the morning mount would disconnect. It would restart straight away if I got the port recognized. Turns out the fitting for the EQMOD cable for the mount was not firm even if the screws where. Two small slithers of a wall plug on the screws the whole thing is a tight as a drum and ran all night.

Now who cant see the chicken running Bottom left cant miss it. Still cant get over the detail in the shot.

It is quite astounding what you find out in space and you have to wonder how these things are made so we see it. Hope you got to see the shot large detail is staggering. Many thanks for the comment.

Thank you for your thoughts I do get lost in the details as you can see here its some thing that cant be over looked. I think it much like my photography " do it right" very much the way I have been from my very first photo on film all those years ago... Thank you for the comment I know these shots are way past most on Ipernity they would not even know what they are looking at as shot but some thing very Abstract. CALLED deep space...
