Stellar Fairy Floss - Vela SNR + Gum 17

2 Panel Mosaic featuring Gum 17
Reminds me of interstellar Fairy Floss on a Stick!

Taken from suburban Melbourne, Australia.

Probably a bit light on for data as we had a patch of cloudy and uneven nights with short clear breaks - but was keen to get what data I could prior to passing on my faithful QSI 683 wsg-8 to it's new owner.

This camera has served me very well for five years
...and I've now got the big QSI 6162 coupled with a Tak TOA 130 to play with - if the skies ever clear!

24 x 1200 Ha 3nm Astrodon
20 x 1200 O3 3nm Astrodon

Looks good Andy and the blue vane through the image sets it off great shot.

An absolutely stunning image, Andy.

I am amazed at the accuracy of your guiding with so many 20-minute subs. As a newbie in astrophotography, I'm struggling to get 90-second subs of anything, even with excellent PA (using SharpCap Pro)....

A wonderful image of the Vela SNR; haven't seen it imaged so beautifully in years.Well done, maestro!

A wonderful contrast there Andy, between the big red cloud that will one day form stars, and the wreckage of a huge star that long ago formed in such a cloud. Almost poignant. Very well conceived, taken, and processed.

Yes thanks! Sad to see it go - it's been a wonderful, faithful performer out of the box!

Thanks very much Richard - appreciate your nice compliments! I'm sure you can get some some guiding help here or you can always contact me for a mentoring session if you get stuck!

Cheers Tony, I've run the big beast through a couple of promising initial tests already - if the weather co-operates, will have an image up soon!

Appreciate your poetic insights, must use them on my website

Thanks very much Ben - it was a challenge getting this one up with fairly limited data - glad you liked it!
