No problem re the webpage - I enjoyed the mystery and challenge...
Regarding the 'blue nebula' ('Narayans Nebula-A') captured by Narayan, I wonder if it's not some sort of lens ghosting/reflection from the very bright Beta Crucis which lies about 21' beyond the edge of the frame in the same direction. I checked a combined image I took of this area last night with a Sigma 70-200 lens and 1.4x adapter (thus 448mm FL @ f4) and I can't see this nebula (14 x 2 minute at 800asa) - not dismissing the possibilitythough.
