Eric,

It is listed in 'A catalogue of bright nebulosities in opaque dust clouds.' (C. Bernes 1977) and in 'A catalogue of southern dark clouds' (Hartley M., Manchester R.N., Smith R.M., Tritton S.B., Goss W.M. 1986) and in 'More Southern Dark Dust Clouds' (A Sandqvist, 1977).

What is true is that most of the software we use, as well as internationally published atlases, has a Northern hemisphere slant, for dark nebs relying on Barnard, Lynds or both.

For 'our part' of the skies complementary information is available in the public domain, often proudly made in Australia... just a bit harder to find...
