Data collected over 4 nights, 16 & 18 Jan and 7 & 14 Feb 2018, good seeing, good transparency
Gone from one extreme, imaging small PN's, to the other... fields 64 times the size of the full moon!.... :-)

Nice! This encompasses the Chamaeleon II and Chamaeleon III complexes! The dwarf galaxy near the bright star is IC 3104. You should do the Chamaeleon I complex, which includes IC 2631 and others.
