Summary

[edit]
Description Thanks to cyclone Debbie which smashed northern Australia yesterday, all the bad weather was sucked away from my home observatory for just long enough to image IC2944 (λ Centauri Nebula). I’ve always thought this area should be called the Dragon Nebula though as it really reminds me of Larry Elmore’s oil paintings from the Dungeons & Dragons manuals of the 80s. Knocked out fast with the Celestron RASA in only 30×1 mins of Ha (QHY9) and 30×1 mins of RGB (QHY12). Some star distortion from camera sag unfortunately but otherwise a nice image showing the dark Bok Globules in the clutch of new stars in the middle.
