Nice work, Rob! I'm at a super dark site right now (6 hrs west of Brisbane) and funnily enough the naked eye views are almost exactly the same as in your photo. Lovejoy is still naked eye visible here, but it's noticeably dimmer than the Milky Way and LMC/SMC.
Edit: just shot my first sub in the vicinity of Lovejoy. At 5 min / f/2.8 / ISO 1600, I'm seeing the tail extend well past Coalsack and almost reaching Eta Carina.
