Emu (the) Constellation

Click image above to view full size
This image shows The Emu, a constellation for lack of a better description. To my knoweldge The Emu was reconised by aboriginal people in Australia. It is a patern of stars and dust stretching through the Milkway area of the night sky. The Emu is huge, photographed here using a 17mm focal length and still only just fitting within the FOV. I was experiencing some guiding issues at the time of taking shots of The Emu so ended up just switching it off, so this is unguided.
Camera:Canon 350D
