Description:

This a 15 hour integration of the Lambda Centauri Nebula, or the Running Chicken Nebula ( no clue where is the chicken though), I shot this one from Mar del Plata City in Argentina, a bortle 8 city by the sea over the course of 3 nights. I stacked and preprocess with AstroPixelProcessor, then Pixinsight and finally Photoshop. I follow a SHO pallet integration for the channels, but I re-added some of the Ha data in the red channel. For the Stars I used RGB filters to get the most natural looking color. Hope you guys like it! (added the astrobin link of the pic for a I higher resolution image)
