Bok Globules in IC2944 (Running Chicken Nebula)
This is a close up of IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, with the Bok Globules visible in the upper third of the frame.
IC2944 is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri.
This image was exposed using a Cooled and full spectrum astro modded DSLR through a 8" SCT at it's native 2032mm (f10) focal length.
The total exposure time was 60.5 hours, through HAlpha, SII, OIII filters and a UV/IR excluding filter for addition of natural colour data.
