Vela Maps with Superimposed Images

I always find it hit and miss when trying to image the really faint stuff in Vela.

I obtained some images from APOD by Rob Gendler and Axel Mellinger. I think they are the best available.

I used RegiStar to superimpose the images on the Maps. The tricks to do this successfully would take another thread.

Here are larger versions of the images below.

Fantastic thanks Bert. I am planning to play around in Vela next moon (famous last words with the weather) and i've been downloading co-ordinates from Simbad.

These will be a great help
