    RCW62 Running Chicken Nebula

    Here is the Running Chicken Nebula from the Telescope Live AUS-2-CMOS setup taken as a set of One Clicks, combined with data from the same telescope taken in both 2023 and 2024. I had this latest set offset slightly to get some of the star clusters in that would have been cut off. It worked out well to give an oversize image that had more stuff in it!
