Vela SNR (Portion)

[Martin Pugh]

Not imaged this before until now, and wow, honestly the Ha and OIII emissions are unbelievable and so very different. When I combined this bi-colour image I had to go back and check the master OIII and Ha frames to verify. Sure enough, in the top right there was dense Ha nebulosity, and no OIII apparent, and exactly the opposite in the lower left. Consequently, you have this incredible result. This was a real joy to put together.

15 hours all up, bi-colour Ha and OIII.

Thanks for looking.

Martin that is THE best image I have ever seen on IIS. It is hauntingly beautiful. I just keep looking at it and seeing more in it.

[Martin Pugh]

Fantastic view Martin. I am in awe of your work. Thanks for the view.

[gregbradley]

Very nice Martin. 15 hours is a good amount of exposure. Going the long hours really pays off.

I imaged it almost identically to that with a very similar result some time ago. STL11/FSQ106 combo. They go together well.

That is an absolutely stunning shot, Martin! :eyepop:

[RobF]

Amazing and inspiring. Suspect there is a great deal of processing skill concealed in that final product too!

[Peter.M]

Another image I cant stop looking at, I take my hat off to you sir.

[LightningNZ]

I've seen similar shots - though yours is almost certainly the best. Viewing this through blue/red glasses is really disconcerting cause the blue/red are completely different, not just offset.
Cheers,

That's a beautiful photo.
The fine detail is amazing & it's full of pin sharp stars right to the corners.
Well done & I bet you'll want to frame that one & put it on the wall?

Wow, that's absolutely amazing. Those bubbles and filaments are hypnotic! It's great to swim around in the full resolution image.
Easily the best Vela image I have ever seen. Thanks for the view, an image like that is truly an experience!

[Martin Pugh]

Very kind words indeed, and I certainly appreciate it.

[Paul Haese]

God damn that is a cracker. Love the dimensional look to the image. The filagree detail and buttery background. Saturation is excellent. Love the image Martin.

[Martin Pugh]

Thanks Marco/Paul

I second the :jawdrop:

I mentioned I have not seen this area before imaged, so it's a real surprise to know it's there. I've now worked out this location relative to the pencil nebula. Well done Martin.
