Here is a revised version of my original VELA supernova remnant 12 panel mosaic using some newer tools in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
Over 44 hours of acquisition over 2 seasons using the Askar 300 and the Optolong L-Ultimate.

Hopefully this version is a little better than the original greener version I had originally uploaded, the stars look better as does the background. The new gradient tools in pixinsight make a massive difference.
Enjoy

Thats amazing Nik. Definitely a big improvement in the background & gradients - super smooth and mind-blowing detail! This is certainly one that MUST be viewed in high-res. Looking at the revisions in astrobin - I'd love to see a combination of the revision C (richer colour) and the latest revision E (darker background)... but i'm probably being very picky on what is an extremely good image. Well done!

Very nice.
I did a very similar one last year with 5 panels using a Samyang 135 and a Zwo 294Mc.
I like your colours better than mine.


Cheers,


Hugh
