Chameleon Cloud.

Hi,
 
This is part of the Chameleon Cloud Complex, quite faint and a real challenge for a DSLR!
This one will end up as a mosaic, didn't quite get IC 2631 in the field. In the field Ced 111 white in colour, Ced 110 blue reflection nebula and GN11.07.3 the small pointed red nebula. The dark nebula is Be 144.
I need more data to smooth this image out, quite surprised there's anything at all with parts of the complex being so faint!

Equipment used.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type III coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D, Cooler box.
21 x 8 minute subs ISO 800 , flats and bias frames applied.
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop 7.

Cheers,

Justin.
