Apus Flux Nebulosity

No, not the flux capacitor, this is the faint fuzzy stuff near the south celestial pole, with some distant galaxies in the field as well. Saw this area in a David Malin book years ago and have always loved it. Had opportunity to shoot a 2 frame mosaic from Leyburn last weekend. Struggled bit with moisture in the air and fog early morning, but managed to get about 4 hrs of decent data for each frame - approx 8 hours total. (FSQ106ED/QHY247C/HEQ5Pro)
