Hello,
It has been a very busy 6 months.
I am still processing photos from my Coonabarabran dark site trip in July last year!
This is the Chameleon Cloud near the South Celestial Pole, featuring the Reflection Nebula IC2631.
I had originally photographed this object in January last year, my previous trip to Coonabarabran.
I have combined the images from both trips (..a first for me!..) to produce this photo, totalling 800 minutes of exposure.
