It certainly has potential though.

Thanks Gary will see how I go with that.
Doug, the field of view is 25 x 16 deg so its a hard to make out any detail in that view.
This crop from another image taken on the same night -with the same gear -shows a bit more detail-and contains at least the following:
NGC 3114
NGC 3199
NGC 3293
IC 2602 / Southern Pleiades
NGC 3372 / eta Car nebula
NGC 3532
NGC 3572
NGC 3576 /
IC 2944 / IC 2944 / lambda Cen nebula
details become more apparent in the crop
-again, a larger image is available at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/9178472...51446/sizes/o/
as Mike suggested I will certainly try both targets again on a cooler night and when I have a better handle on flats and darks
