Vela Remnants in Ha widefield

[multiweb]

Here's one of the pics I've just finished processing from last night. This was taken with a SMC Pentax-M 100mm F2:8 fully open and a QHY9 mono with a Baader Ha 7nm. Each panel is 6x600s exposures. Stacked in CCD Stack, stitched in registar and processed in PS.

Thanks to Greg B. for letting me know where to point exactly to maximise the whole field. :thumbsup: Uncropped version here (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pUvrE7v-xdOHHYXk8CzlapBrkgdh9ro03NKgDDPkAog wjFQz6-ajvp2te6n3m7oid7btMzfk0FgWw73J5Uw9X sg/vela_ha_100mm_ff.jpg?psid=1).

Mike S. did a fantastic narrowband color version of the small filaments in the center. There's a lot going on around this field of three panels each roughly 10x8 degrees so will revisit with some color when weather plays nice again.

There's also a plate solve here (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pxIFZC5eyPPkP1HS3Dttgm3391VjCSf6g We0BgQ-cpodCtHm03fZlQERL2Nw-AAx_i_vdo_kSzQ0tnhQvEEXMzQ/vela_ha_100mm_ff_T.jpg?psid=1)done in unimap.

It looks fantastic Marc. What a great vista. That area is the wonderland of the Southern Sky.

Thanks mate. :thumbsup: Yeah it's like a candy store right up ahead now. Should take some of the heat off M8 :)

Great vista Marc :thumbsup:

Been away on a family emergency but I got your PM via email to my 2008 Telstra crapo phone :rolleyes: which is too hard to reply from. I see Greg came to your aid though, so that's good :thumbsup:

It's a fantastic area as your wide shot shows - lots of the interesting bits.

I will likely target another bit of it with the AG12 next session, and I could keep going like this all Vela season too I would imagine....who know, might even end up in my first mozaic :P

Thanks Mike :thumbsup: No worries. Hope all is good now. Yes there is a lot of stuff to image up there. I'm practicing my cloood disappear right now.


Thanks Trev. Glad you like it. :thumbsup:


Thanks a lot Trent. :thumbsup: That 100mm is quite sharp on axis if I nail the focus.


Thanks Lester. :thumbsup: I'd reaaaalllly love too but the clouds are back and my backyard is starting to look like a dirt bike track with all the traffic :sadeyes:

Wow, there's some work in this Marc..:eyepop:
and like Greg says, this is one hell of a play ground...

Nicely done mate and with these wide fields, it really show cases some of our wonderful objects.
I can even make out the Pencil Neb... wild!

All the best

Thanks Rich. :thumbsup: Suprisingly very little work in there. The data was good out of the box. Just a bit of stitching required.


Thanks Rob. :thumbsup: Will try. :windy:


Thanks Peter. :thumbsup: Registar is pretty cool for this kind of things. Easy to use.
