Dark.. Eagle? Turtle?

I will start by saying that I can not find a name for this as a distinct object. Broadly it is part of the Chaemeleon molecular cloud complex. Solving it on astrometry.net reveals no catalog numbers of any sort. I had a go at this to test how the ASI2600 would go against a dim target and found it by browsing around in the Voyager virtual field of view. I would say that answer is that the camera performs well picking out a dim target! I tried collecting HA as well, but it is virtually absent, there is a little red'ish knot in a darker area which brightened up somewhat and that was that.

This is 94 X 600 second subs taken over three nights with the ASI2600MC and Stellarvue SVX80T. Integrated in APP and a fairly light touch of post in Photoshop.
