Did this last night, 10 x 15 minutes, no filters. Jagged the polar alingment well, I could go for several minutes and not need to make a single dec correction, jagged focus and guiding well, though alas noise cant be avoided trying to pull such faint stuff from a very light polluted background.

Also attached is one of the 15 minute ISO 200 subs, pretty light polluted for sure.

Nice image Scott.
What are the coordinates?
Is there a satellite trail through the right hand side?

I think that this is the region being referred to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamaeleon_complex

It includes: IC 2631, Be 144, Ced 110, Ced 111, HH 49, HH 50, GN11.07.3 (Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula)

The fan shaped object looks like one of those variable nebulae (Hubble, Gyulbudagians, etc.)

Amazing considering the LP. :thumbsup: I'll never complain about my skies again. :lol: Are you still hand guiding?
