IC 2944 Running Chicken Nebula

I still haven't nailed Polar Alignement yet but I'm slowly improving. Probably over processed as well, although I have no real idea what I'm doing other than equal parts pull your hair out frustration and quiet wonder at the parts of the cosmos I can see or photograph from my very light polluted Bortle 6 backyard.

 

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus.

 

Using an 8" Saxon Newtonian, SW HEQ-5 mount and my trusty Canon 60D.

Experimenting with multiple subs in Starry Sky Stacker (for Mac) and further processing in DxO PL4

 

Critique welcomed as I'm trying to learn. Cheers
