This frame was taken with dual narrow band filter, IDAS NB12, but the most importance is not with those hydrogen-alpha emissions.
There exist many striae of dark or hydrogen-alpha clouds flowing in the same oblique direction, from east northeast to west southwest or vice versa against the galactic plane. Who know the reason or mechanism of the large structure. North is up, and east is to the left.
Equipment: Sigma 35mmF1.4 DG HSM Art, IDAS NB12 Dual Narrow Band Filter, and EOS R6-SP5, modified by Seo San on ZWO AM5 Equatorial Mount, autoguided with Fujinon 1:2.8/75mm C-Mount Lens, Pentax x2 Extender, ZWO ASI 120MM-mini, and PHD2 Guiding
Exposure: 16 times x 60 seconds, 16 x 240 sec, and 19 times x 900 - 1,800 seconds at ISO 6,400 and f/3.2
Total exposure time was 10 hours. Data were acquired during four consecutive nights. I tried imaging through five consecutive nights, but the data acquired at first night were discarded due to rotation of ball mount a bit after the night. The frames were different in direction from others gathered at the other four nights. The rotation made it difficult for me to register them together.
The rotation was recorded in the frame containing bright meteor: www.flickr.com/photos/hiroc/53748460722
site: 2,430m above sea level at lat. 24 38 55 South and long. 70 16 52 West near Cerro Armazones Chile
SQML was 21.55 at the night. Ambient temperature was around 6 degrees Celsius or 43 degrees Fahrenheit.
Redish Coalsack Loop was visible faintly on this frame, taken without dual narrow band filter.
Here is a frame of the same area taken with dual narrow band filter. Coalsack Loop is visible clearly:

Do you feel lost looking at this Picture of the Week? Exploring the gas cloud known as IC2948 means finding your way across countless nascent stars born in this enormous stellar nursery. And yet, this is just a snippet of a much larger object: the Running Chicken Nebula. This nebula spans an area on the night sky close to 25 full moons, and yet, the area you see here is not even a third of a full moon. Obtaining such a detailed snippet of the nebula was possible thanks to a 1.5-billion-pixel image taken by the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), hosted and operated by ESO.
Located in the constellation of the Centaur (Centaurus), the Running Chicken Nebula is a labyrinth of gas, dust and young stars whose highly intense radiation erodes away the surrounding material. The gas cloud IC2948 is the brightest region of the nebula. Here, we find creeping dark clouds, shaped like open hands about to grab their surrounding blooming stars.
First discovered more than a century ago, this gas cloud is helping us understand how stars form and behave during their infancy. To spot IC2948 within the much larger Running Chicken Nebula, locate the chicken’s rear end (or its head, as some people claim). In your search, you may come across other areas like the stunning GUM 41 nebula.

The Lambda Centauri complex, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula IC 2948 (at left) and above it the Pearl Cluster (NGC 3766). Just right of centre is the open cluster IC 2714 ad below it the small barely resolve cluster Mel 105. To the upper right is the nebula complex NGC 3576/81. This is a rich area of sky to explore with binoculars or a low-power telescope with exccellent contrasts between rich starfields and dark nebulas.
This is a stack of 4 x 10 minute exposures at f/4.3 with the Borg 77mm astrograph (330mm focal length) and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Taken from Coonabarabran, Australia, March 2014.

The Running Chicken Nebula comprises several clouds, all of which we can see in this vast image from the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), hosted at ESO’s Paranal site. This 1.5-billion pixel image spans an area in the sky of about 25 full Moons. The clouds shown in wispy pink plumes are full of gas and dust, illuminated by the young and hot stars within them.

"Binning" is a technique in which a group of pixels will be combined to form one "super pixel".
In the case of the binning 2x2, a group of 4 pixels will form 1 (super) pixel and the resolution will be halved but the signal-to-noise ratio is increased.
Only testing other process.
There is color variation because intense light pollution.

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula, the Lambda Centauri Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Bok globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944. Other designations for IC 2944 include RCW 62, G40 and G42.
IC 2944 is an emission nebula about 6,000 light years away, commonly called the Running Chicken Nebula, a rather creative name (I still don't understand how one can see a figure of a chicken in it...). It is also famous because it is very rich in Bok globules, small clouds of gas and dust so dense that they block out visible light. The image was taken in narrow band, i.e. with filters that select the emissions of the main elements that constitute the nebula, in this case sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen, and putting together data from 2 telescopes placed about 8000 km apart in Chile and Namibia for a total of almost 7 h of exposure!

É muito interessante quando tiramos uma foto de uma porção maior do céu (menor distância focal). Muitos objetos tendem a aparecer. Nesta captura da Nebulosa da Galinha Correndo (IC2714), também é possível ver a NGC3579 e outros objetos mais, dentre outras nebulosas e grupamentos estelares. Infelizmente, devido a um erro de configuração que só vi depois, as capturas foram feitas com gain 0, o que reduziu muito o brilho e aumentou o ruído e acabei tendo que fazer um corte grande nas laterais. Mas ainda assim, gostei bastante do resultado! Segunda imagem mostra os objetos com anotação.
It's always fascinating when we photograph a wider portion of the sky (using a shorter focal length). Many deep-sky objects tend to reveal themselves. In this capture of the Running Chicken Nebula (IC 2714), you can also spot NGC 3579 and several other objects, including additional nebulas and stellar clusters. Unfortunately, due to a configuration error I only noticed afterward, the images were taken with gain set to 0 — which significantly reduced brightness and increased noise, so I ended up cropping a large portion of the edges. Still, I'm quite happy with the final result! The second image includes annotations highlighting the objects in the field.
