Last night it was blowing a gale, but I still managed a couple of hours on the Running Chicken Nebula with my Dwarf3.

260x15s@80 (I had to drop the exposure down from 60s because of the wind gusts vibrating the mount.)

Post processed in Google Photos to deepen shadows and a little sharpening and denoising.
