Absolutely stunning image, but IC 2631 is nowhere in the image!! The bright blue reflection nebula on the right is Ced 111 and the weird white one is Ced 110. The orange triangular nebula on the right is the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula. If you look carefully, you can see two red blobs nearly halfway between Ced 110 and Ced 111, these are the Herbig Haro objects HH 49 and HH 50. In true sky orientation, IC 2631 is north of Ced 110, its exact coordinates are: 11 09 52.79 -76 36 51.5
