A dark nebula complex in Chamelion wide field

Hi
I used the 300mm lens from Bert to image the nebula complex surrounding IC 2631 in the far south. Ive already got images of it with the 10 and 6 inch scopes, this shows it in a much wider field.
18 x 5 mins ISO200
300mm f2.8 flourite lens
modded 350D, uv/ir filter
Sky quite good for Newcastle, cool and clear
processed as usual in Iris and PS, strong gradient had to be dealt with, this is my first quick effort in processing, I might have another go tomorrow.
