Well Bert that certainly is different, a wonderful wide field, and pretty sharp I might add, well done indeed.

That is a great image Bert. I was just trying to work things out. I think the bright blue star at the top is gamma Vel and the bright cluster on the right is IC 2391. North is on the left.

Here is a map with the image superimposed with Registar Glen.

Gee's Bert I love how you do that, I have the one you did for me as a wallpaper on my new Monitor, which I might add (the Monitor) is a beauty, so sharp and clear.

Bert, thanks for the map.

[avandonk]

Thanks for the comments all. I have given the data a bit of a more severe beating with GradientXterminator.
It is in the same place

The problem with 'eliminating' gradients is you start to lose contrast of the faint real nebular data. Most of the nebs in this image are very faint.
